Adventures of Casanova is a 1948 American-Mexican historical adventure film directed by Roberto Gavaldón and starring Arturo de Córdova, Lucille Bremer, and Turhan Bey. It portrays a fictional version of the story of Casanova, and was supposedly intended to capitalize off of the Errol Flynn film The Adventures of Don Juan (although the latter film was actually released later that same year after a long production process). The film's sets were designed by the art directors Jorge Fernandez and Alfred Ybarra.
Synopsis
It is set in Sicily in the 1790s, with Casanova as a freedom fighter battling against the King's local governor Count de Brissac, who unknown to the monarch, is acting as a tyrant.
