’Tis Pity She’s a Whore , five-act tragedy by John Ford , performed sometime between 1629 and 1633 and published in 1633. The story concerns the incestuous love of Giovanni and his sister Annabella. When she is found to be pregnant, she agrees to marry her suitor Soranzo. The lovers’ secret is discovered, but Soranzo’s plan for revenge is outpaced by Giovanni’s murder of Annabella and then Soranzo, and Giovanni himself is murdered by Soranzo’s hired killers. The play exhibits an eloquent and glowing sympathy for the lovers, despite the unlawful nature of their union.

Having waited 35 years since I saw this film for it to appear on Video or DVD I was excited to find it finally arrive. I will not review the film with a stunning cast a wonderful soundtrack and sumptuous visuals and absorbing 400 year old story because if you have seen it you will know what a treasure it was. If you have not, please do not watch this edition of the DVD because it is not what was made in 1971. What a disappointment to find a disgusting piece of rip off sales from New Star Video, whoever they are. Firstly the cover(a lie)states in bold lettering that it is 106 minutes long which is the full film, but I find it is a mere 91 Minutes which is according to IMDB the American 15 minutes cut version which is not what I saw in my youth. Next this film was a stunning piece of art direction, costuming and set design but the cinamascope aspect has been cut to fit a 16x9 screen which destroys some of the sweeping scenes meant for this production. You can see this when it skips from the Cinemascope of the wobbling credits to suddenly fill the screen. The sound is horrendous and flat and apart from skipping and wavering in volume it distorts so often that the sound is hard to hear. The color varies and the beautiful images I recall so clearly are faded, scratched and spotty and the light wobbles in a single scene. The cover states "Full Length Feature Film" but as I said there are 15 minutes missing. I was particularly looking for some scenes which failed to appear. "Digitally Remastered" (I guesss that merely means an old copy was transferred with no restoration onto DVD) They have destroyed one of my favourite films.
'Tis Pity She's a Whore' is the story of a passionate and romantic love between brother and sister Giovanni (Oliver Tobias) and Annabella (Charlotte Rampling), and the ensuing havoc when, pregnant by her brother, she marries an arrogant nobleman (Fabio Testi). Writer/director Giuseppe Patroni Griffi freely adapted his screenplay from John Ford's Jacobean tragedy. His film is exquisitely conceived and highly personal, with a radiant cast. Released in 1971, it has been available here only in this frustratingly truncated, coarsely edited, 91-minute, full-screen VHS version dubbed in English. If you look hard enough, it can now be found in a 100-minute, wide-screen DVD version in Italian, with optional Japanese subtitles - but no English. If you know and love this film as I do, you won't care. You will revel in the sheer beauty of its design, photography, and cast (including Antonio Falsi as Giovanni's friend and confessor). Illustrative of writer/director Griffi's vision and eye is his creation of such a ravishing ensemble. All simply exude youthful animal magnetism and appeal. The violence is typical of Carolinian tragedy with subjects like incest, blasphemy, obsession, and revenge. Suffice it to say, the 17th Century was not a time when such things were taken lightly! But there are also moments of great poetry as well. Allegory and symbolism abound. Oliver Tobias (a major British sex symbol of the time) never looked so extraordinary and seductive as he does here, and Maestro Griffi unabashedly exploits the actor's resemblance to a suffering Christ throughout his gorgeous, breathtaking film.
It is generally agreed that this film is an extraordinary work of art. A stunning cast with Charlotte Rampling, Oliver Tobias, Fabio Testi, and Antonio Falsi all simply gorgeous. The sets are incredible and the vision is other-worldly. All the beauty, drama, and violence of the Carolinian theatre. But this edition is dreadful, and utterly misleading. It is not the uncut 106" it promises, nor is it remastered. It is simply a bad copy of the horribly truncated 91" American VHS aversion of this classic. I have made better DVD copies than this from my old VHS tape. There is a beautiful widescreen version from Asia, in Italian without subtitles in English. If you know the film and love it, you won't care. If you can find it, you will enjoy the feast for the eyes that was intended by the director. This version is only acceptable if you have never seen the film before and have no access to other, more difficult to find, editions.
If you are an A level teacher looking for a dramatic production of this play to accompany your teaching of this superb 17th century revenge play, keep looking. This arty, free adaptation of the story reduced my students to howls of derision and boredom. Gone is Ford's meticulously plotted, deliciously complex, multi-layered treatment of jealousy, betrayal and twisted passion. Instead we are offered a turgid series of arty shots in which lustful lovers pine and moon over each other but nothing ever really happens. There are only two good scenes in the film: one is a mildly erotic sex scene which does indicate the type of violently obsessive, corrupt love felt by Soranzo; the other is the ludicrous bloodbath of retribution at the end of the play, which is laughable for its grotesque transmutation of Ford's grisly denouement. By cuttting out all the interesting sub-plots and excising almost the entire cast of original characters, this film succeeds in reducing a classical masterpiece to a piece of tacky,sub-erotic boredom fest. What a pity the director ever got out of bed.

In an amoral home, where a man lives in sin with a woman, his daughter and his son fall in love, and have incestuous relations even after the young woman marrys. Her husband will seek revenge, and a gory end will unite all in classic tragedy - death. (Based on John Ford's play, "Pity she's a whore", respecting its poetic text, and careful Italian Renaissance settings.)
