...host of mind-gripping sequences destined to set apart "Padre, Padrone" as one of the most important films to cross the Atlantic in the late 1970s. To name only two: the unforgettable series of shots capturing the varied expressions of a village's collective lust, from a young boy sodomizing a mule to the rusty sex rites of an aged couple; or the scenes showing how far the "spare the rod" philosophy of rearing is literally taken by the father of the future writer Gavio Ledda (Saverio Marconi).

The story contained a gratuitous reference to "poor Scott Fitzgerald" and that famous line from The Rich Boy, "The very rich are different from you and me." The reply is often assumed to have been Hemingway's: "Yes they have more money." At Fitzgerald's request, his name was deleted and "Julian" substituted in later editions of the story. But the impression lingered, and still does, that Fitzgerald...
