In the early 19th century, there was still controversy as to what form the standard literary language of Italy should take. Manzoni was firmly in favour of the dialect of Florence and, as he himself put it, after "washing his clothes in the Arno [the river passing through Florence]", he revised the novel's language for its republication in 1842, cleansing it of many Lombard regionalisms. The original name of one of the protagonists, Fermo, was changed for the same reason to Lorenzo.
I promessi sposi was made into an opera of the same name by Amilcare Ponchielli[9] in 1856 and by Errico Petrella[10] in 1869. There have been many film versions of I promessi sposi, including I promessi sposi (1908),[11] The Betrothed (1941)[12] The Betrothed (1990),[13] and Renzo and Lucia, made for television in 2004.[14] A "modern opera" version, called The Betrothed Lovers, was written and produced by Michele Guardi with music by Pippo Flora, and first performed in 2010.
I promessi sposi was made into an opera of the same name by Amilcare Ponchielli in 1856 and by Errico Petrella in 1869. There have been many film versions, all made in Italy. The first silent adaptation was I Promessi Sposi (1908, Mario Mareis). In 1913 there were two competing versions: Film company Pasquali from Torino (Turin) made the one version, I promessi sposi (1913, Ubaldo Maria Del Colle), and the other version I promessi sposi (1913, Eleuterio Rodolfi) was produced by film company Ambrosio from the same city. Turin was the capital of the early Italian film industry. Nine years later followed another silent adaptation: I promessi sposi (1922, Mario Bonnard). The first sound version was I promessi sposi/The Spirit and the Flesh (1941, Mario Camerini) starring Gino Cervi as Renzo. Then there was a Spanish-Italian version I Promessi Sposi (1964, Mario Maffei), starring Gil Vidal and Maria Silva as Renzo and Lucia. There were also various television versions. In 1967 Nino Castelnuovo starred as Renzo in the TV series I promessi sposi (1967, Sandro Bolchi). Later followed the TV series I promessi sposi (1989, ) with an all-star cast including Danny Quinn, Alberto Sordi and Franco Nero, and the TV film Renzo e Lucia/Renzo and Lucia (2004, Francesca Archibugi) with Stefania Sandrelli as Agnese, Laura Morante as the Nun of Monza and Gottfried John as the Innominato. There were also some parodies. Director Nanni Moretti made the comic Come parli, frate? (1974, Nanni Moretti) and there was the TV miniseries I promessi Sposi (1990, Massimo Lopez, Anna Marchesini, Tullio Solenghi) with Giuliano Gemma as El Gringo.

I'd like to use this space to plug a film I thoroughly enjoyed: Hail, Caesar! Directed by the Coen Brothers, this Hollywood romp offers us a slice of the life of Eddie Mannix (Josh Brolin), a fixer who wrangles (and sometimes ransoms) unruly actors. The film boasts a murderer's row of talent, and in the course of Mannix bouncing from crisis to crisis we get to see Channing Tatum tap dance, Scarlett Johansson perform a water ballet, and newcomer Alden Ehrenreich sing cowboy tunes and show off his rope tricks. Great fun all round.

He shares an extravagant underground lair (and a giant bed of money) with his curvaceous, superficial girlfriend...who uses her awesome powers of wig-wearing to help Diabolik kill innocent people and steal billions from the government. Nonetheless, Diabolik is the "hero" of the film because he must face off against bumbling cops and revenge-seeking mafiosos. ...Diabolik (1968) ( Danger: Diabolik )
