Vittorio Gassman brings Dumas's "Kean - Genius and Debauchery," adapted by Sartre, to television. Edmund Kean is a hugely popular and theatrical 19th-century English actor who is, however, addicted to vice and deeply in debt. He competes with the Prince of Wales, his partner in debauchery, for the wife of the Danish ambassador.
Directed by Franco Enriquez, Kean - Genio e sregolatezza leans on a strong ensemble — Vittorio Gassman, Valeria Valeri, Anna Maria Ferrero — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1955.
