I watched "Lo Straniero" on Spanish tv in Summer 1986. The version was very close to the novel. I understand Camus widow didn't allow Visconti's intentions to set the film in Argelia War. Regards.
The rights to show the film are tied up with the Camus Estate, I believe. It has never been released on video in any country. I had a bootleg that was beyond unwatchable.
Helmut Berger is the Ludwig for me with the eccentric tendencies, like Romy Schneider was the Elizabeth of Austria for many in the 1950s. By the way, she acted in Ludwig and played the role of Elizabeth for the second time in her life. The documentary should have mentioned Romy Schneider and her relation with Visconti.

Visconti is always the most.

Maybe Delon has been a biggest rival and obstacle of Helmut's love of life, maybe not...

Very interesting...But what about "Lo Straniero" (1967) based on Camus' novel? Only a few glimpses from the shooting...

Great stuff! Why's Helmut Berger hating on Alain Delon?! Funny...those boys knew how to have fun back in the day, that's for sure.
