06/13/1999: Franco "The Great - who?" Zeffirelli...

Posted By: Parca_Mortem


I find it odd that Zeffirelli is usually referred as a great director, one that has a long list of impressive classics, one whose name automatically guarantees quality to a film, yet ironically no one can recall a film that he has done...

Films that people actually recall by Zeffirelli:

-"Hamlet" '90, known better as "Mel Gibson's Hamlet", and considered by most as a not so inspiring film. People don't even recall Zeffirelli's name attached to the film.

-"The Champ", flick recalled only to make Jon Voight and RickY Schroeder jokes...

-"Jesus of Nazareth": Catholics love to show this film all the time, yet never recall his name attached to it, unless a priest is making an anouncement at "quality movie night" at the local Church...

So, where is ze great Franco?...
