When I returned from college the next year, even Ryan’s Daughter was a subject of local reproach. I think moviegoing culture in San Berdoo died a quick death in the ’70s, when all films stopped being family films. Probably due to conservative public outcry, the theater owner rejected anybody who looked like a high school kid, even though I was 17, technically eligible by the X-rating rule. bothered to release Luchino Visconti’s The Damned in my home town of San Bernardino earlier in the year Midnight Cowboy caused a sensation - I went on opening night but was turned away when I returned the next week.

The chilling treachery plays out at family dinner tables, in the offices of a steel mill, and in various bedrooms Nazi fervor is equated with sex perversion. The fiendish Countess Ingrid Thulin has raised a twisted son (Helmut Berger) to serve her deadly schemes her path to power involves framing one heir for a killing while another rival is sacrificed in an SS massacre for the good of the Reich. Luchino Visconti’s searing look at Nazi corruption sees an industrialist family torn apart by murderous greed and ambition worthy of the Borgias. Sex and swastikas! - that combo shows up in both trash cinema and high art.
