Ludwig

Luchino Visconti's last film, based on a novella by Gabrielle d'Annunzio, is a haunting account of aristocratic chauvinism and sexual double standards in turn-of-the-century Italy. Giannini is the psychotic husband whose lust cannot be satisfied; Antonelli is his sensitive, tormented wife; and O'Neil is his cunning, possessive mistress.—Alex Asp

Conversation Piece (1974)

The power and fortune of the Von Essenbeck family remained intact even when Germany lost World War I, and during the depression that followed.

Two little girls recite poetry in the parlor and then play hide-and-seek with their cousin Martin (Helmut Berger). Suddenly there is a scream. The baron has been shot with their father's gun and the father flees the country.—Dale O'Connor
