My Name is Benvenuto Cellini (1x27)

Data emisji: Maj 21, 1968

[Starring] Peter Vaughan as Cellini The Florentine goldsmith and sculptor Cellini (1500-1571), is best known today for his autobiography. In that book he gives a vivid, violent picture of low and high life in Italy at the end of the Renaissance. It is one of literature's great adventure stories. The words in tonight's film are Cellini's own, and they make an unsparing self-portrait of an astonishing human being and artist - murderous, devout, brutal, loyal, hard-working, and brave.
