With breathtaking elegance, Visconti's vision of a decadent aristocratic society, dazzles the eyes in sumptuous style.
Giancarlo Gianni stars as Tullio, a debauched unprincipled libertine who indulges himself in a series of affairs. Finally, he leaves his wife for his sensual mistress.
The melodrama unfolds relentlessly and with increasing intensity as Tullio swings between his beautiful wife and his glamazon mistress. Empassioned by his wife's distress and his mistress' independence and sensuality, Tullio is caught in a web of deceit and burning passion.
