In Italian with English subtitles. Directed by Mauro Bolognini.

Il Bell’Antonio is a tragicomic examination of sexual impotence. Marcello Mastroianni plays Antonio Magnano, a handsome jock blessed with the problems of a “Don Juan”. But hovering precariously over Antonio’s magnetic effect on women is the fact that he his sexually impotent. After amassing notoriety in Rome, a conflicted Antonio returns home to Catania where tales and gossip of his sexual exploits have taken on mythic proportions. His bombastic father, Alfio Magnano (Pierre Brasseur) and mother, Rosaria (Rina Morelli), unaware of their son’s problem, push for him to marry the notary’s beautiful daughter, Barbara Puglisi (Claudia Cardinale). Knowing what this means, Antonio hesitates, but then stumbles across Barbara’s picture, falls in love, and agrees to the marriage...

4 of 5 Il Bell'Antonio February 15, 2015
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Armadale, Victoria Australia  
The opening credits promise much: Piero Tosi, Pasolini, Claudia Cardinale and Marcello Mastroianni; and Mauro Bolognini's handsomely mounted adaptation of Brancati's novel doesn't disappoint. Mastroianni's range was incredible. The film isn't without humor, though not of the light, wry, mischievous kind I remember from the novel. Excellent quality DVD.
