A pretty lacklustre film in all truth. I watched it mainly because of my interest in this period in history but the general audience will not find much here to excite them. It's very slow and mostly dialogue, not particularly good dialogue either. The premise is to show the internal power struggles going on inside each court before we get the big battle at the end, it's very pedestrian though in getting there and you can see what's going to happen from the start. The film is shot in colour and does feature some nice sets, costumes props, etc. Sophie Loren is in here and very good and strong considering she would only have been about 20 at the time I think. We do at least get one good battle at the end, I would have been disappointed if it didn't.
