While incarcerated in a Spanish jail, the famed 18th-century lover remembers some of his more formidable conquests. Though many women have thrown themselves at Casanova's feet, the true love of his life was a Venetian lovely (Corinne Calvert) who steadfastly resisted his charms. Virtually plotless, the film is essentially an unending parade of feminine pulchritude, attractively garbed in revealing period costumes. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
