Private Vices, Public Virtues

Directed by Miklós Jancsó

With Lajos Balázsovits, Pamela Villoresi, Franco Branciaroli, Teresa Ann Savoy and Laura Betti

The setting is a Central European kingdom, near the turn of the century. Bored by his very proper wife, the youthful heir to the throne spends his time in amorous dalliances at a sprawling country estate. His wife departs at the arrival of his friends, and they organize a celebration which becomes a wild orgy and culminates in death and tragedy.
