What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The language details are inconsistent: the listing gives English as the language and Italian (Dolby Digital 5.1) as an audio listing, while it also describes an English-language version alongside the original. Confirm which audio tracks and version options are on the discs before buying. The aspect ratio is listed as unknown, so widescreen is the only stated presentation detail.

Who is it for?

A good fit for

Viewers interested in Luchino Visconti's historical drama and the social changes of Italy's Risorgimento.
Collectors looking for a two-disc Blu-ray with the film's original and English-language versions, as described in the listing.

Less suited to

Buyers who need confirmed aspect-ratio details or a clearly specified audio-track and version breakdown before purchasing.
