This article presents a brief information on the motion picture "The Damned," by Italian director Luchino Visconti and starring Derk Bogarde and Helmut Berger. The film is a family drama and characters are many and the plot is a cat's cradle of complexity, with wickedness outwitting wickedness in a circular chain. Berger's performance is in a way typical of the film. It is a matter of excessive surface effect and almost no internal structure. His minces and displays delicate fingers; his eyes are made up to resemble those of a cat, and when he is riding a manic high, they are presumably hypnotic; but a feather will knock him down from that perch and he then runs sobbing to mother.
