Prince of Foxes
US (1949): Adventure/Drama
In 1500, Duke Cesare Borgia (Orson Welles) hopes to marry his sister Angela (Marina Berti), widowed by poison, to the heir apparent of Ferrara, which impedes his conquest of central Italy. On this delicate mission he sends Andrea Orsini (Tyrone Power), his sister's lover and nearly as unscrupulous as himself. En route, Orsini meets Camilla Verano (Wanda Hendrix), wife of the count of Cittá del Monte (Borgia's next intended conquest); and sentiment threatens to turn him against his deadly master, whom no one betrays twice... Henry King directs this wonderful, over-the-top performance by Welles. (20th Century-Fox -- of course!) (IMDb)
