Nino Rota

Presented on this set are the complete Nino Rota soundtracks to the classic 1960 movies Rocco e i suoi fratelli (Rocco and His Brothers), directed by Luchino Visconti, and Plein Soleil (Purple Noon), directed by René Clément.

Set in Milan, Rocco tells the story of an immigrant family from the South and its disintegration in the society of the industrial North. The film stars Alain Delon, Renato Salvatori, Annie Girardot, and Claudia Cardinale, in one of her early roles before she became internationally known.

Loosely based on the 1955 novel "The Talented Mr. Ripley" by Patricia Highsmith, Plein Soleil also stars Alain Delon in his first major film, along with Maurice Ronet, Marie Laforêt, and Romy Schneider in an uncredited role.

Nino Rota’s theme song from Visconti’s 1957 film "Le Notti Bianche" (White Nights) has been added here as a bonus.
