The Duchess of Avila (1973)

Genre : Adventure, Drama, Fantasy, Mystery

Runtime : 5H 42M

Director : Philippe Ducrest

Synopsis

An epic six-hour adaptation of Potocki's The Manuscript Found in Saragossa. Most famously filmed by Wojciech Has, this four part adaptation has the advantage of a vastly expanded running time, allowing for more of the novel to be incorporated >> shot on film, it was clearly a very expensive production and is equally spectacular in its own way.
