Casanova (1971)

Excellent production, spectacular cinematography, too racy for U.S. television in 1971/72

[8 February 1999]

All the quality we have come to expect of BBC mini-series, and the production values are stunning. Cinematography was excellent, as was the acting. The networks were gunshy in north America, even PBS. I was working for a station in Toronto which bought the rights and ran it in prime time. The full frontal nudity got a fair bit of attention, but was tasteful, and never offensive.
