You can’t take your eyes off every beautiful frame of this poetic, romantic film.

Epic grandeur. I love the ball scene—seeing it on a big screen is so unforgettable!

It is a classic of this genre. It has the best sets, lighting that has been emulated over and over and compelling visual storytelling.

A great looking film plus Italy in the 1960s. I love the party scene and the Jean Moreau scene in the car in the rain.

Beautiful and inspiring ’70s photography of Jane Goodall discovering Africa.
