The Duchess of Avila

Movie · 5h 42m

Starring Jean Blaise, Eveline Eyfel, Jacqueline Laurent, Sylvie Bréal

An epic six-hour adaptation of Potocki's The Manuscript Found in Saragossa. Most famously filmed by Wojciech Has, this four part adaptation has the advantage of a vastly expanded running time, allowing for more of the novel to be incorporated >> shot on film, it was clearly a very expensive production and is equally spectacular in its own way.
