I thought some of the scenery was painted backdrops till I saw the carriage driving through the golden fields. Beautiful!

Helena Bonham Carter, Judy Davis and Helen Mirren all in the same movie I'm going to enjoy this !!!!

I came upon the filming of this movie in 1990 or 91 in Montepulciano. I was traveling with my mom - from California and I was thrilled. I was a young actress and overwhelmed with joy to stumble upon the film set. Just heavenly!!

A tender scene when the baby was being bathed. Gino, the baby's father showed disbelief at first, looking for his child around the room, then anger - he loved his baby very much.

I've been wanting to re-watch this for years. Thank you, youtube.

Great acting! Sad movie . However, the brother was more gifted than he thought and finally self-actualized.

[yvonneplant]

Never heard of this movie before!! HBC and Mirren!! ❤

[TruthHumble]

That Helen Mirren played Queen Elizabeth 30 Years later is incredibly ! Even then she was a great actor 👍

Such a delight, Helena Bonham Carter is out of this world

[jomama]

This movie is gorgeous ! The scenery. The clothing. The attention to detail, to the era. The architecture is so rich. If it had no volume, I could still enjoy this movie, just looking at each set, or scene(idk)? Anyways, What a treat for the eyes and heart ! Thank you so much for sharing this-for free!-on youtube ! That was a really kind thing to do, so thank you very much ! I'm liking & subscribing now !!! God bless ! ❤ 🙏🏻

I love the imposing score! So subtle and basically fits the mood in every scene. It's by Rachel Portman.

I not only love tis movie-I adore it!
The location, the sets, the people, the acting, drama, realism, compassion portrayed, acted, directed, and shown by these amazing actors and the director who masterfully created this endearing portrayal of otherwise despicable characters who I soon fell in love with.
Simply gorgeous, lovely, passionate, compassionate, compelling, heart rendering, beautiful story of love, life, and the winding tales of lives intertwined, tore apart, and brought back together in cinematic excellence, balance, and harmony leaving me totally satisfied and longing to return to the world that I adore-forever back to the people I love, adore, and cannot wait to return to again.

I couldn't feel the full intensity of the emotions from this drama after I read the book or watched the earlier movie version until this one! Bravo to everyone involved in the making of this movie.

What a load of messed up people ! Well portrayed

[demoisellelenina]

I am watching this good film while i am crocheting some angels for Christmas. Poor baby not even lived his life, may angels looking after him.

[mariemorgan]

Thank you for posting this movie. I watched it on t.v. over 30 years ago. I could never understand how the inlaws could interfere with the baby since they had no right to take the child. It is a pity that the father did not press charges for kidnapping and manslaughter. Poor baby. It would been nice to see the sister in prison in Italy, she would probably go insane.

[TaniaSaucy]

Watching and hearing those 3 vultures chewing their food and talking about their dead relative and her child and how the Italian spouse gets nothing while they would obviously steal her new-born baby's wealth to sustain their pathetic lives really pisses me off.

[JoanneBeechey-ppbf]

What a strange story. I don't know whether I liked the film, or. Not. 😮😮😮

[poohbear]

Rupert Graves was always a standout English actor . Doesn't get enough fuss made about him. Better than Colin Firth.
