Yes, I saw this film on TMN! I'm glad it's on On Demand so I can watch it again. :)

I don't think your image of Cesare Borgia will be ruined by this. It's such a beautiful film, and his part in it is more of the sensitive best friend than the lover. The one love scene between them is certainly not at all graphic. It wasn't at all hard to take that 'Cesare Borgia' would have done this sort of part. ;)
