Additional Information
A film by Luschino Visconti
Visconti was inspired in creating the main character of the professor by the Italian literary critic Mario Praz. In an interview Praz recalls how the situation described in the movie (a group of young and loud tenants moving into the old palazzo where he lived, disrupting his peace) happened for real a few months after the movie was released.
The professor is a collector of conversation pieces, 18th century English paintings. Arthur Devis is mentioned.
In the film, the cult song by Iva Zanicchi Testarda Io is heard. The aria "Vorrei spiegarvi, oh Dio!", and the Sinfonia Concertante, K. 364, both by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart are heard.
The film refers to Golpe Borghese, Red Brigades and terrorism acts in the History of the Italian Republic in the earliest 70s. Konrad (Helmut Berger) fought in Berlin at May 1968.
Lietta (Claudia Marsani) recites a poem that is attributed to W. H. Auden, "There's no sex life in the grave".
The film is a critique of the world of the Jet set following Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita.
