In 14th Century Venice, an old man recounts the fabulous adventures of his youth to a wondering admirer. He unfolds the hardships, savagery and nobility of the greatest journey yet made from West to East. He paints an awe-inspiring picture of the court of Kublai Khan, in all its splendor, opulence and pride. His story tells of how even the greatest and most enlightened empires can fall prey to greed, violence and intrigue; and how great exploits can be quickly forgotten. From the true-life memoirs of Marco Polo Giuliano Montaldo has fashioned a truly epic film in three parts. This lavish production was shot in Africa, Pamir, Mongolia and Southern China; its scope and spectacle are breathtaking. Performances by BURT LANCASTER, SIR JOHN GIELGUD and a tremendous cast enhance their noble setting. There has, quite simply, never been a film like it.
