Casanova (TV Series 1971) | Steed in the Stable (Episode 1)
Casanova is a British television drama serial, written by television playwright Dennis Potter. Directed by Mark Cullingham and John Glenister, the serial was made by the BBC and screened on the BBC2 network in November and December 1971. It is loosely based on Italian adventurer Giacomo Casanova's Histoire de ma vie (Story of My Life; 1780–1792). It was Dennis Potter's first television serial, having previously written single plays for the BBC's The Wednesday Play and Play for Today series. Frank Finlay starred in the title role and was nominated for the best actor award at the 1972 BAFTA ceremony.
Episode 1: After being arrested and charged with "foul atheism" and fornication, Casanova is sentenced to five years imprisonment at "The Leads": the most notorious of Venetian gaols. Brutalised by Lorenzo the gaoler and devoid of hope under the harsh prison regime, Casanova's mind wanders back to his past loves and adventures. He finds himself haunted by the memory of Christina, a simple country girl he gave to another rather than marry her himself.

Il Gattopardo aka The Leopard (Film 1963-MULTI SUB)
The Leopard (Italian: Il Gattopardo meaning "The Serval") is a 1963 Italian epic period drama film by director Luchino Visconti, based on Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa's novel of the same title. Audio Italian with subtitles in; Italian, English, French, Russian, Spanish.
It stars Burt Lancaster, Claudia Cardinale, Alain Delon, Serge Reggiani, Mario Girotti, and Pierre Clementi. Screenplay and adaptation: Suso Cecchi D'Amico, Pasquale Festa Campanile, Enrico Medioli, Massimo Franciosa and Luchino Visconti. Music by Nino Rota. Luchino Visconti won the Palme d'Or at the 1963 Cannes Film Festival.
Plot Summary:
Set in Sicily at the time of the Bourbon sunset, the novel is based on the family of Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa and in particular on his ancestor, Prince Fabrizio Salina. When the aristocratic Salina family finds themselves spending their holidays in Donnafugata's summer residence, the mayor of the town, the ambitious Don Calogero Sedara, tries to get into the prince's favor. It is during the meeting between these two families that Tancredi, Don Fabrizio's affectionate nephew, is immediately fascinated by Angelica, the beautiful daughter of Don Calogero. Just as these family plots are consumed, the time comes to vote for the annexation of Sicily to the Kingdom of Sardinia, a difficult decision that forces the prince to a profound reflection and an awareness of the historical moment that his generation is crossing.
The same year he finished 8½ (1963), Nino Rota dusted off an old symphony of his own composition, he proposed it to Luchino Visconti for this film, the director loved it, and it became the score for this fresco of the social and political changes in Sicily in the midst of the 19th century. The editor Mario Serandrei had given Visconti as a present the sheet music of an unpublished waltz by Giuseppe Verdi that he had found in one drawer of an old chest he bought in a flea market. Rota added this composition to the long final ball sequence.

Burt Lancaster as Don Fabrizio Corbera, Prince of Salina
Claudia Cardinale as Angelica Sedara / Bertiana

By the Sword Divided (TV Series 1983) | Gather ye Rosebuds (S01-E01)
By the Sword Divided is a British television series produced by the BBC between 1983 and 1985.
Episode 2: https://rumble.com/v4ohl8n-by-the-sword-divided-tv-series-1983-this-war-without-an-enemy-s01-e02.html
The series, created by John Hawkesworth, was a historical drama set during the mid-17th century, dealing with the impact of the English Civil War on the fictional Lacey family, made up of both Royalist and Parliamentarian supporters. It follows the family as it is torn apart by the conflicting and changing loyalties of the war, as families were during that time, and the defeat of the Royalist forces at the end of the First English Civil War. Series two covers the second and third civil wars and the eventual Restoration of the Monarchy. The last episodes see the surviving members of the family (from both sides of the divide) witness the arrival of King Charles II on a visit to the ancestral Lacey home.
The filming of the show took place at Fermyn Woods Hall, Rockingham Castle and Lilford Hall in Northamptonshire.
