The Wanton Countess (1954) Radiance 1080p BluRay x265 10bit AAC 2...

This lush, Technicolor tragic romance from Luchino Visconti stars Alida Valli as a nineteenth-century Italian countess who, during the Austrian occupation of her country, puts her marriage and political principles on the line by engaging in a torrid affair with a dashing Austrian lieutenant, played by Farley Granger. Gilded with ornate costumes and sets and a rich classical soundtrack, and featuring fearless performances, this operatic melodrama is an extraordinary evocation of reckless emotions and deranged lust, from one of the cinema’s great sensualists.

This is an alternate presentation of Senso for English markets with dialogue written by Tennessee Williams and Paul Bowles in collaboration with Visconti, from newly transferred audio of the longest available version, a world premiere on Blu-ray (121 mins).
