    1) It was directed by Luchino Visconti. 2) The handsome Farley Granger. 3) The exquisite set design, and costumes.

    I like the backdrop of Risorgimento Italy and the portrayal of two characters played by Alida Valli and the recently deceased Farley Granger.

    1. Alida Valli's character is possessed, mad, jealous and horny, the perfect recipe for disaster. 2. Visconti's use of colour is seductive. That scene in the hayloft is luminous. 3. Farley Granger looks like ice cream. Who wouldn't be driven mad by him?

    I'm not a great fan of The Leopard...it simply moves far too slow; but this, Senso, looks more melodramatic- Sirkian by way of the Archers.

    1. Venice at war. 2. The music by Bruckner. 3. The clash between Austria and Italy, self-interest and love, reason and passion.
