  • Riccardo Freda – Il magnifico avventuriero AKA The Magnificent Adventurer (1963)

    1961-1970AdventureItalyRiccardo Freda

    PLOT & Review:
    Benvenuto Cellini (1500-71) knows no obstacles (or scruples) when he has to create a work of art or win the heart (and the rest) of a woman.
    R. Freda does a genuinely popular cinema, practicing many genres, from drama to horror. Faced with a film of adventure, as here, he can be concise and engaging.
