The Inheritance (1976)
Director: Mauro Bolognini
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
The insipid Sanda seduces her way into the affections and bed of self-made millionaire Quinn, to get her hands on his closely guarded lucre. Passionless characterisations abound, and the periodic spasms of carnality offer little relief as we are swanned around the meticulously realised Rome of the 1880s. Punters dishing out good money in the hopes of seeing a sexually explicit version of TV's Dynasty may well be disappointed.Author: WH
