Francesca di Rimini poster

The story of Canto V of the Inferno is briefly summarized. The film is a remake of The Two Brothers (a.k.a. Francesca di Rimini), and based on the play Francesca da Rimini by Gabriele D'Anunzio. Both films have Florence Turner and James Stuart Blackton starring and directing, respectively. The critics of the time panned the ending, which was said to be 'a pathetic fizzle'.
