Movie review - "Crossed Swords" (1954) ** (re-viewing)

Should have been good. Late period Errol as a Don Juan type. Cesare Danova has his best friend and Gina Lollobrigida as the love interest. Italian locations, Jack Cardiff cinematography.  Some clever script ideas like the men being forced to marry, and the women being involved in seducing the men.

It's not good. They don't use the ideas - why not have Don Juan be forced to be married? Errol is more rape-y here than in The Adventures of Don Juan. Undercast villains. Poor direction. Poor dubbing.
