          it isn't exactly like being on an organ donor waiting list, is it (though it is an entertaining film)?

              emerge puzzled as to its reputation. "Don't Look Now" or "The Comfort of Strangers," now THOSE are great Venetian movies!

  Vittorio was great there, but the movie is not much really. Of course this is until you compare it to the remake - then it looks like a real gem.

      I don't have any definite recollections of the Rose - I recall seeing it, the robes, the darkness, but not much more, so I guess it didn't touch me. As I mentioned - I can't recall ANY Sean's role that I would consider the contribution to the art of acting.

      Regarding Profumo Di Donna, I found this comment on imdb rather telling:

      "Like many other people I'm sure, I first became aware of this Oscar nominee when I read the closing credits of its Al Pacino remake. That was in 1992 and I have been trying to locate a copy of the Italian original ever since. According to the critical opinion I've encountered in the interim, the Gassman original was said to be superior, with the Pacino version incorporating its extraneous subplot about Chris O'Donnell's troubles at his private school.

      Well... I have finally managed to see the illustrious original. It certainly seems far inferior to me. Its potential is all latent and unrealized; the American version takes the unusual blind officer character and does colourful and then dramatic things with him. The Italian original just walks the character through some conventional sex farce situations.

      The result seems so trivial, and the film is as cheap and ugly to look at as any Italian film of the 1970s. Some credit naturally goes to Vittorio Gassman for originating the character for the screen, but that's about it."

      Here we have the voice of the Coca-Cola generation in its finest... what sort of brain it takes to consider Al's character "colorful and dramatic"?

      More popcorn, please!

      
      "Like many other people I'm sure, I first became aware of this Oscar nominee when I read the closing credits of its Al Pacino remake."

      Figures...
