Prince Of Foxes (1949) DVDRip Tyrone Power, Orson Welles
Andrea Zoppo, a well-educated commoner, masquerades as a member of the
noble Orsini family and wins favor with the ambitious and Machiavellian
Cesare Borgia, who, with his equally corrupt sister Lucrezia, hopes to
become the most powerful force in Renaissance Italy. Orsini, along with
Belli, another erstwhile nobleman and assassin, ingratiates himself
with seventy year-old Count Verano, the ruler of the fortified town of
Citta del Monte. Over the next few months as the fatherless Orsini
becomes more and more impressed by the Count's honor, nobility, and
wisdom, he also becomes increasingly enamored with Camilla, Verano's
twenty year-old wife. Although she reciprocates his feelings, the
younger woman remains faithful to her husband, and and doesn't
consummate them. When Borgia demands Varano cede troops to his service,
the aging ruler puts the question to his subjects, who urge him to
resist the tyrant. Orsini has a change of heart and aborts Belli's
planned assassination of the old count. Orsini then renounces his
service to the Borgias and pledges himself to the cause of defending
Citta del Monte against them.
