Kean - Genio e sregolatezza

The music lover. He had a love of life. But was torn by it. He reached out for the sensual. And was burned by it. His genius demanded a price. And he paid it.

Vittorio Gassman brings Dumas's "Kean - Genius and Debauchery," adapted by Sartre, to television. Edmund Kean is a hugely popular and theatrical 19th-century English actor who is, however, addicted to vice and deeply in debt. He competes with the Prince of Wales, his partner in debauchery, for the wife of the Danish ambassador.
