Effect substitues for reality. From the initial credits on, one is not permitted to forget that the infinite number of European courts in which the action takes place were all constructed in Cinecitta ("movie city") just outside of Rome. In one sequence, Casanova rows a boat across the Venetian lagoon in a thunderstorm; he holds no oars, sits in no boat, and the wildly surging waves are obviously green plastic. The stock sound of water-in-a-storm fills the air... or is it the sound of plastic bags in a gale? Nature blurs into artifice. Casanova is first seen...

Among other, less ardent exiles, reaction to the Carter program could be shaped to some extent by their current circumstances...
