This story of a doomed passion is nothing if not easy on the eye. The lovers are stunningly good looking and the camera bathes them and their surroundings in a lustrous glow. Who would have thought fascist Italy, repressive and lurching towards catastrophe, could be so agreeable? Neither of the protagonists have anything much to work with and some scenes are tediously drawn out. Watchable enough but instantly forgettable stuff.
