Description
 
This is a region-free DVD-R without case or artwork.

In Italian with English subtitles. This film is also known as 'Les Mauvais Chemins' and 'The Lovemakers'.

The original Italian is La Viaccia (the name of the family farm which motivates the plot). The death of a wealthy patriarch in 1885 sets off an interfamily power struggle. Son Ferdinando buys out his other relatives in order to gain full control over the dead man's property. But Ferdinando's country-bumpkin nephew Amerigo (Belmondo) holds out. Amerigo's stance is weakened when he heads for the city and meets prostitute Bianca (Cardinale). To support her in the manner in which she is accustomed, Amerigo steals from his uncle. Disgraced in the eyes of his family, Amerigo decides to stay near his beloved Bianca by becoming a bouncer in her brothel...

Also stars Pietro Germi.

Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Armadale, Victoria Australia  
Another fine Bolognini film - which is to say, drama with depth; also superb film-making and acting from all involved. Thanks, MovieDetective.
