I haven't seen this since 1972 when I was 7. Wow. Thanks. I wish I could watch it all today. Let's see how reliable my memory is about one scene I recall from this series now that I'm 55.
When I was 8 years old I saw this movie series in an educational catalouge and begged my Mom to buy it (3 VHS tapes) and I became obsessed with anything related to Leonardo Da Vinci. From his art, to his scientific studies, and the Renaissance; everything about his life and times seemed really interesting to me.🎨🖼 Thanks for up loading an old childhood favorite! ☺
Me too! I am fascinated about everything. I can't find the documentary the history channel did on him, when he disappeared into the cave for 3 years. I would like to watch that one again. I know I will find it one day.
It is so heartwarming to read this, me too! I actually never saw the original film, but had the book with photos from it, so I really enjoy watching it at last! Thank you for this! For me it was the beginning of my fascination with Leonardo; I traveled to see any painting I can see, I think I read every book or text I could find...I recommend books written by Kemp, I am just finishing one about the Mona Lisa-the painting and the people, which I highly recommend.
EUREKA!!! I saw this series on 1971 when I was obviously much younger and it just blew me away! I am absolutely thrilled that I have found it again! WOOHOO!!!
My father was an art lecturer in college.. he once noticed me writing with my left hand and I’m left handed therefore he suddenly told about the legend of Leonardo da vinci and his amazing works he had done which surpassed the next generations after generations. I used to learn to draw from my father…I’ve seen the work of Da Vinci through google and his films. It is amazing and I love it. But being left handed doesn’t mean you can become like DA VINCI!!😁
Same here! Many people have go-to songs to help cheer them up. I always have go-to movies or tv shows. This is one of my go-to tv mini series that always helps to put me in a good mood.
I'm really happy that you and so many others have been enjoying and appreciating this charming series on one of my favorite creative thinkers. It's a good thing I downloaded it from another UA-camr many years ago, because he has since removed it, and another UA-camr had it but was charging people to view the remaining episodes after the first two. So I finally uploaded it myself. since it's a rare find these days. I plan to always keep it up for all to view for free as long as YT allows it. I do love this series! :)
Even though this was made long before I was born in 1989, I remember borrowing this VHS tape set from the school library in the late 2000s. Yes, I still had a VHS player at the time. Watching this VHS set is how I spent that particular Friday evening. Sometime in the mid-2000s I became obsessed with Leonardo da Vinci or anything to do with Renaissance Italy for that matter. Even though I was only in my late teens at the time my eyes were glued to the screen from beginning to end of this show.
thanks so much for this wonderful series.. most of my meals over the last week or so, during this lockdown, have been with Leonardo. Few learnings I am tempted to share: 1) Validates that painting is as much a science as any other stream of art (architecture etc). 2) A work of an artist is never complete.. yet, it is important to balance perfection with practicability, else a lot of grand designs we have in life will remain unfinished. 3) God is the ultimate Master artist and everything He has created in nature is perfect. 4) One cannot describe the emotions one feels when confronted with a master piece nor express respect enuf for a grand master who creates it. 5) We are probably one of the few fortunate generations on this planet that have not faced an upheaval for nearly 45 years of existence.. most generations before us have faced wars, epidemics, emergencies and the like.. and flourished from the same.. everything around Leonardo got uprooted nearly 5 times during his lifetime, with Europe being in turmoil at that time - yet the Renaissance was the most glorious period in history, for creativity and commerce to flourish. 6) Art was THE most important area of attention for all the rulers of Europe and probably the only common thread that unified them - Leonardo was patronised by the existing rulers and respected as much by their attackers (whereas everyone else that had served the earlier ruler was massacred). Am definitely watching this series all over again.. for more learnings..
Thank you for that very insightful analysis of this series and in the important role art plays in our lives and in our history! I'm truly glad you enjoyed it and that it was so well received. Your appreciation is very appreciated! :)
I watched this in my freshmen year of high school. There was a young man that was a senior and he was blessed with the same beautiful eyes of this actor. I'm sure the goo goo eyes of an average looking freshman girl drove him crazy that year. It kept this series, and my fascination for the artist, in my memory for years. I am happy to find it again.
Oh man. The memories. I watched this as a homeschooler; I think I was around 13 or 14 when I saw this; that was like, 16 or so years ago. The theme song at 4:27 is literally an in-joke reference my sister and I make to each other when referring to Leonardo. God, the memories watching this were tremendous. Thank you for posting this so I can enjoy it again.

This is by far my all-time favorite program on Maestro Leonardo. I absolute love the dubbed voice-over dulcet tones of Norman Rose as narrator for Giulio Bosetti's voice. Utterly SUBLIME. I generally don't like dubbed films, but in this case, I thought they did a wonderful job. I have a ratty off-air recording of the mini-series from PBS and a commercial VHS, which I treasure because the DVD version which was released much latter was greatly abridged. : (
I feel the same way about the "dubbed voice-over dulcet tones" of the narrator. There's just something about it that I really like. I may like other renditions and edits of this mini series, but I sure do treasure this copy I have! In fact, I recently planned to watch it again, soon.
This is the most precious of all uploads on UA-cam. I saw it for the first time when I was 7 and I was instantly mesmerised. A very warm handshake of appreciation to you from a far away land.
I bet they're out there in the world, here and there, but rare and hard to find like a precious jewel, because these type of individuals are usually major introverts, much like Leonardo was. I wish there were 'more' of them, though.
Saw this as a teenager in the early 70's, and it's always remained with me. Sadly, there doesn't seem to be a DVD release available. There is something on Amazon, but apparently it's an edited-down version of this five part series.
That is a shame! Even though I don't speak Italian, I would also like to obtain the original version that was spoken in Italian. If only a DVD was offered with both versions, along with special features, that would be worth gold to me.
Wow, so happy to have rediscovered this! I watched the original miniseries when I was 7 years old and for some reason the theme music never left my mind. I can't wait to watch it all again.
That's good to hear! Yeah, every time I watch this charming series, I get that theme music stuck in my head for days--enjoyably so. It's a nice little tune, just as charming as the series itself.
Hey sowmya, yeah its u only, again you came to this vedio today on 27th August 2020, did you change anything are you still the same --------- Answer NO I'm still the same girl. Shame on you.
25:05 A great teacher is known by the students they produce. if your student gets as good as you or even better in time. you should be proud that you had a share in their growth. not get mad because they have become as good as you. thats what teaching is all about.
How interesting it is to realize the most intelligent people of all time were not educated at the supposed institutions of higher ed, but all were in fact self educated ! That should tell you a lot about what we call education today here in USA. As well all the greatest minds came from eras when there was little technology that we are consumed with and fooled by today ! There are very simple reasons for these facts and phenomena. I was thoroughly immersed in all 5 of the series as I have long been totally intrigued by Leonardo
This is pretty good. It seems the whole work will run to about 5 hours. Considerable pains taken to be historically correct. A few minor quibbles. (1) Catarina was supposed to be about 15 when Leonardo was born. Too old in this film. (2) LdV probably spent the first five years or so with his mother. The grandfather's note in ~1457, listing him for "tax purposes", as living in the house, was probably about the time he was taken into the household. (3) His move to Florence to be with his father was ~1466, shown much younger herein. (4) Most serious "error". His style of writing with his left hand was not to keep things secret. Quite a few left handed children - including one of my granddaughters - do naturally write in the LdV style when quite young. They either grow out of it, or are "taught" to do so at school or at home. (5) The contract drawn up for the Adoration of the Magi, was certainly NOT in Leonardo's favor. (6) The "boastful curriculum vitae" for possibly moving to Milan, was never sent off. The copy existing today, is not in Leonardo's hand. (7) By 1480-82, he must have sensed that the people in power in Florence (Lorenzo de Medici), were not too favorably disposed towards him. Other lesser talents (Perugino, Botticelli), were being given the prestigious jobs/contracts. His St Jerome would seem to indicate his feeling of frustration/sadness. Interested people should look into the "rediscovery" of the St. Jerome in 1833 by Cardinal Fesch (Napoleon's half uncle), cut into two pieces and serving as the door panel to a cupboard and part of butcher's table, in a flea market in Rome. It now resides in the Vatican Museums; one of the few paintings known to be Leonardo (alone); serves as perhaps the best place to get his finger and palm prints! Despite these minor drawbacks, this is by far the best film regarding Leonardo, that I am aware of anywhere. Look forward to the "episodes" beyond the first.
Thanks for writing such a lengthy interesting comment. It seems as though you are quite familiar with the history of da Vinci and knowledgeable of the period. I will be sure to look into these possible errors. I don't remember this mini series giving the impression that he wrote with his left hand to keep his work private or secret. In one of the earlier episodes it does briefly cover that he could write and draw with his left hand and that it was considered to be a sign of the devil, which Leo tried to logically counter as nonsense. And the series does express the view that he wrote backwards so as to conceal his ideas and inventions. Either way, thanks for adding your point-of-view and your corrections. I'm glad you appreciate these videos and this mini series--as do I. :)
The indisputable standard of European man at his peak. It is not by coincidence that he had blue-eyes/auburn hair and proper features of dignified evolutionary standard in all accurate pictures of him. Everything that we've lost as a people, and must revive and restore in modern western hominids can be perceived and studied in exemplary men such as Benjamin Franklin, Leonardo Da Vinci, John Adams, Johanne Sebastian Bach, Beethoven, etc. The standards of what we are have been led astray by pop-culture and the artificial highly domesticated influence of dumbing down our folk. Culture is carried by men; whereas women give life. Men must initiate, and lead if the civilization is to be healed and restored to light, greatness and dignity. How often do you interact w/ the average person nowadays and get the impression that they are actually capable of critical reasoning and serve as a credit to the nation and to the civilization? How prevalent is it to see people w/ zero self-regard and propriety for what they are, and the mandate by Nature to honor our past and preserve what's good and wholesome?

Love Leonardo’s great mother, she was a woman with beautiful heart ever
My intuition tells me this english sibtitles version of leonardo`s series are not FULL and have many cuts.IAM sorry but can you know where can i watch the FULL of it？
Italian are mostly with black hair. Every time a person who is somebody important or smart or nice they changed their feature to yellow hair and blue eyes.
I've always believed 100% that it was not planned or scripted but just an accident, due to the cat being so camouflaged among all those blankets, yet they all remained in character and finished the scene, and then the director apparently decided to keep it in. It must have been the best take. I always cringe a little when that part comes, because it looks like the actor accidentally puts his full weight on that cat, putting it in pure agony.
That's a good question. I wish I knew. It is a nice little melody that's inspirational and energizing! I'm sure it could be traced down if you Google this series within IMDB (Internet Movie Data Base) find the title and artist there, then Google it to maybe find it on UA-cam or other video/audio platforms. Good luck!
Where did you get this series from? I first saw it in 1971 on PBS and just loved it. The versions on Amazon by Questar are stripped down versions without the music or narrator. I’d like to order a full copy like what you’ve posted here.
I don't exactly remember, but I do know that I did download it from another UA-camr years ago. It's a good thing I did, even though they are at very low resolution, because years later, I discovered he either removed them or made them private or he lost his channel--I forget. Another UA-camr had also uploaded just the first 2 or 3 episodes and then was charging people to see the others. Viewers were really upset about it. So I finally decided to edit my copies (adding an intro and outro to each episode) and then upload for all to see for free. Apparently the original version is in its original Italian language and not dubbed in English. But I don't speak Italian, so I love my copy of the series! I would like to one day find a professional high res copy one day. If you ever find one that includes the music and narration, let me know.
📚 “Path of Illumination” Neither space nor time is sufficient to describe the brilliant achievements of the Ionian school of natural science. People think that once freed from their chains with such enlightenment, human beings no longer deviate from the path of critical reason shown by this enlightenment. Unfortunately, the reality is the opposite. In the 5th century BC, Socrates in Athens and Pythagoras and Parmenides in Southern Italy, called “Great Hellas,” rebelled against the inevitable results of Ionian natural science. In particular, they were frightened by the Ionians' thesis that precise knowledge was impossible and that every knowledge was open to improvement at any moment. They were after “accurate, indisputable, correct information.” Pythagoras taught that precision in numbers was a guarantee of the accuracy of knowledge. However, the discovery of irrational numbers such as the square root of 2 caused great embarrassment in the school of Pythagoras, which was organized as a religious sect, and it was decided to keep this discovery a secret. It is said that poor Hippasus, who leaked this secret out of the sect, was drowned in the sea by other sect members. Parmenides said that his words got their power from the Goddess Dike, while Socrates taught that the immortal soul would find God, and that the good man was the man who most resembled God. Heraclitus from the Ionians, on the other hand, described Pythagoras as a charlatan. The teaching of Socrates is the most misunderstood system of thought in the entire history of philosophy. Socrates' Defense and Euthyphro are actually a method used to impose certain moral standards on the individual. The great philosopher Bertrand Russell described Socrates' stance as “the greatest betrayal of truth.” Indeed, Plato, the student of Socrates, established the first totalitarian state philosophy in Europe, and his student Aristotle placed an indisputable passion for truth in scientific thought. Later, Christianity came to Europe, and throughout the Middle Ages the people of Europe were condemned to the deepest ignorance and the most terrible tortures. It took a thousand years for Europe to wake up from this terrible nightmare. The infiltration of Hellenic science, which was preserved and developed by the Muslim world, to Europe through Spain, Sicily and Trabzon-Istanbul lines for 500 years, and the fact that the Italian Republics such as Genoa and Venice were rich in trade, started the Renaissance, that is, the Rebirth. The great geographical discoveries that developed with the Renaissance laid the foundation of the Galilean environment, which revived the spirit of Ionia in Europe. The most important factor that enabled the rapid development of critical thinking in Europe was the prevalence of individual freedom. While the Ottomans did not allow the printing press to enter their country, 20 million books were printed between 1450 and 1500 in Europe, whose entire population was then only 60 million!
Really, what a shame. I'm sure we missed out on a lot of good foreign TV programs and film productions. I used to watch dubbed martial arts films when I was a kid, during the late 70's and early 80's, but perhaps those films were made prior to 1975. In recent years, I discovered that my country almost bought the rights to air the British science-fiction television series, Thunderbirds, but the deal fell through and American kids unfortunately grew up without it. But I'm having fun watching them now!
AS one commentator said, American Network TV is as isolationist as that of Mainland China. Dubbed martial arts films were shown in theaters more than on TV, and continued to be shown into the 80s. I'm sure they continued bringing in new ones, like Jackie Chan in the 90s.They were shown on local TV and cable. THUNDERBIRDS WAS shown on local US TV stations in the 60s and became fairly well known here. I don't know where you read it wasn't on here-maybe a network passed up on it, but local stations definitely took it.
Ah, that's good to hear! I must have misheard or misinterpreted that while I was watching the Thunderbirds special features on the DVDs I bought. Perhaps American stations merely failed to secure and renew their rights to air the show and didn't get to continue that privilege. The British production company of that show had greatly raised the price (against the creator's wishes). I also remember learning that the creator, Gerry Anderson, wanted to continue the show, but the new producer wanted to cancel it, along with other shows they'd created with marionette puppets. He was very disappointed and so were a lot of fans during the late 60's. I feel better, now, knowing that American kids did, indeed, get to experience Thunderbirds! Thanks for letting me know!
It was ABC, CBS, and NBC that rarely or never showed foreign shows. Public stations ran MONTY PYTHON, for instance, and THE BENNY HILL SHOW, like THUNDERBIRDS, was syndicated. Martial Arts films from Hong Kong were bought by individual stations from the 70s on but not shown on major networks.
Steve Burstein Boy, you sure know your television and cinema history! By the way, I used to enjoy watching Monty Python. I'll have to see if I can find those episodes online somewhere. Take care!
Yes, that's Leonardo lying in bed. This series starts out by showing what is believed to be an exaggerated, embellished, hypothetical deathbed scene. Then the series jumps to the beginning of his childhood to piece together the story of his life.
Excelent film. Un film atit de bun să nu fie tradus în limba romana? noi respectam regula comunități, dar domnia dumneavoastră pe noi abonați? Nu va bateți joc.
Not too long ago I found this with italian speech and english subtexts - and the original music. Can´t find it. Sad. This music is unpleasant and eardrum-piercing and the voices are awful.
It's loosely based on known historical accounts of Leonardo's life and the times he lived in, using much of his own writings and drawings, along with a lot of educated guesswork to fill in the gaps.
Haha, I believe he said "Get in the cart!" But his 'English dubbed' speech, which was originally filmed in Italian, was a bit slurred. I wouldn't be surprised if the word 'car' derived from the older term ''cart,' which probably means something like 'to carry.'
Well, it's probably more accurate to say he hardly ever finished a project or painting, which unfortunately is true, but he explored and accomplished a great deal in terms of his artistic explorations and his invention ideas. He was a very creative genius in his time.

Yes, but it’s a shame there are so many mistakes! It’s time to make an updated version for the new generation…

This is pretty good. It seems the whole work will run to about 5 hours. Considerable pains taken to be historically correct. A few minor quibbles.
(1) Catarina was supposed to be about 15 when Leonardo was born. Too old in this film.
(2) LdV probably spent the first five years or so with his mother. The grandfather's note in ~1457, listing him for "tax purposes", as living in the house, was
probably about the time he was taken into the household.
(3) His move to Florence to be with his father was ~1466, shown much younger herein.
(4) Most serious "error". His style of writing with his left hand was not to keep things secret. Quite a few left handed children - including one of my
granddaughters - do naturally write in the LdV style when quite young. They either grow out of it, or are "taught" to do so at school or at home.
(5) The contract drawn up for the Adoration of the Magi, was certainly NOT in Leonardo's favor.
(6) The "boastful curriculum vitae" for possibly moving to Milan, was never sent off. The copy existing today, is not in Leonardo's hand.
(7) By 1480-82, he must have sensed that the people in power in Florence (Lorenzo de Medici), were not too favorably disposed towards him. Other lesser talents
(Perugino, Botticelli), were being given the prestigious jobs/contracts. His St Jerome would seem to indicate his feeling of frustration/sadness. Interested
people should look into the "rediscovery" of the St. Jerome in 1833 by Cardinal Fesch (Napoleon's half uncle), cut into two pieces and serving as the door panel
to a cupboard and part of butcher's table, in a flea market in Rome. It now resides in the Vatican Museums; one of the few paintings known to be Leonardo
(alone); serves as perhaps the best place to get his finger and palm prints!
Despite these minor drawbacks, this is by far the best film regarding Leonardo, that I am aware of anywhere. Look forward to the "episodes" beyond the first.
Thanks for writing such a lengthy interesting comment. It seems as though you are quite familiar with the history of da Vinci and knowledgeable of the period. I will be sure to look into these possible errors. I don't remember this mini series giving the impression that he wrote with his left hand to keep his work private or secret. In one of the earlier episodes it does briefly cover that he could write and draw with his left hand and that it was considered to be a sign of the devil, which Leo tried to logically counter as nonsense. And the series does express the view that he wrote backwards so as to conceal his ideas and inventions. Either way, thanks for adding your point-of-view and your corrections. I'm glad you appreciate these videos and this mini series--as do I. :)
Me hubiera gustado conocerlo.
Que gran sueño!!

The indisputable standard of European man at his peak. It is not by coincidence that he had blue-eyes/auburn hair and proper features of dignified evolutionary standard in all accurate pictures of him. Everything that we've lost as a people, and must revive and restore in modern western hominids can be perceived and studied in exemplary men such as Benjamin Franklin, Leonardo Da Vinci, John Adams, Johanne Sebastian Bach, Beethoven, etc. The standards of what we are have been led astray by pop-culture and the artificial highly domesticated influence of dumbing down our folk. Culture is carried by men; whereas women give life. Men must initiate, and lead if the civilization is to be healed and restored to light, greatness and dignity. How often do you interact w/ the average person nowadays and get the impression that they are actually capable of critical reasoning and serve as a credit to the nation and to the civilization? How prevalent is it to see people w/ zero self-regard and propriety for what they are, and the mandate by Nature to honor our past and preserve what's good and wholesome?
Love Leonardo’s great mother, she was a woman with beautiful heart ever
Thank you!!!! ❤😇
superbe! thanks!!!
Very interesting
Fact:Rafaello Sanzio is the apprentice of Leonardo da Vinci and michealangelo
My intuition tells me this english sibtitles version of leonardo`s series are not FULL and have many cuts.IAM sorry but can you know where can i watch the FULL of it？
Italian are mostly with black hair. Every time a person who is somebody important or smart or nice they changed their feature to yellow hair and blue eyes.
34:22 was the funniest part of the video
I wonder if him stepping on the cat at 34:22 was a part of the movie? lol i dont think it was
I've always believed 100% that it was not planned or scripted but just an accident, due to the cat being so camouflaged among all those blankets, yet they all remained in character and finished the scene, and then the director apparently decided to keep it in. It must have been the best take. I always cringe a little when that part comes, because it looks like the actor accidentally puts his full weight on that cat, putting it in pure agony.
@@GuyusSeralius yes I agree!
LoL
Where can i find the Italiano song of this serie?
That's a good question. I wish I knew. It is a nice little melody that's inspirational and energizing! I'm sure it could be traced down if you Google this series within IMDB (Internet Movie Data Base) find the title and artist there, then Google it to maybe find it on UA-cam or other video/audio platforms. Good luck!
Where did you get this series from? I first saw it in 1971 on PBS and just loved it. The versions on Amazon by Questar are stripped down versions without the music or narrator. I’d like to order a full copy like what you’ve posted here.
I don't exactly remember, but I do know that I did download it from another UA-camr years ago. It's a good thing I did, even though they are at very low resolution, because years later, I discovered he either removed them or made them private or he lost his channel--I forget. Another UA-camr had also uploaded just the first 2 or 3 episodes and then was charging people to see the others. Viewers were really upset about it. So I finally decided to edit my copies (adding an intro and outro to each episode) and then upload for all to see for free. Apparently the original version is in its original Italian language and not dubbed in English. But I don't speak Italian, so I love my copy of the series! I would like to one day find a professional high res copy one day. If you ever find one that includes the music and narration, let me know.
11:50 no doubt the uncle knew who she was. but those were the times.
I thought the same thing. At the time, the older members of Leo's family likely knew she was his birth mother.
I was thinking to myself, "I wonder if he knows who she is?" lol
wow
📚 “Path of Illumination”
Neither space nor time is sufficient to describe the brilliant achievements of the Ionian school of natural science. People think that once freed from their chains with such enlightenment, human beings no longer deviate from the path of critical reason shown by this enlightenment. Unfortunately, the reality is the opposite.
In the 5th century BC, Socrates in Athens and Pythagoras and Parmenides in Southern Italy, called “Great Hellas,” rebelled against the inevitable results of Ionian natural science. In particular, they were frightened by the Ionians' thesis that precise knowledge was impossible and that every knowledge was open to improvement at any moment. They were after “accurate, indisputable, correct information.” Pythagoras taught that precision in numbers was a guarantee of the accuracy of knowledge. However, the discovery of irrational numbers such as the square root of 2 caused great embarrassment in the school of Pythagoras, which was organized as a religious sect, and it was decided to keep this discovery a secret. It is said that poor Hippasus, who leaked this secret out of the sect, was drowned in the sea by other sect members.
Parmenides said that his words got their power from the Goddess Dike, while Socrates taught that the immortal soul would find God, and that the good man was the man who most resembled God. Heraclitus from the Ionians, on the other hand, described Pythagoras as a charlatan.
The teaching of Socrates is the most misunderstood system of thought in the entire history of philosophy. Socrates' Defense and Euthyphro are actually a method used to impose certain moral standards on the individual. The great philosopher Bertrand Russell described Socrates' stance as “the greatest betrayal of truth.”
Indeed, Plato, the student of Socrates, established the first totalitarian state philosophy in Europe, and his student Aristotle placed an indisputable passion for truth in scientific thought. Later, Christianity came to Europe, and throughout the Middle Ages the people of Europe were condemned to the deepest ignorance and the most terrible tortures.
It took a thousand years for Europe to wake up from this terrible nightmare. The infiltration of Hellenic science, which was preserved and developed by the Muslim world, to Europe through Spain, Sicily and Trabzon-Istanbul lines for 500 years, and the fact that the Italian Republics such as Genoa and Venice were rich in trade, started the Renaissance, that is, the Rebirth. The great geographical discoveries that developed with the Renaissance laid the foundation of the Galilean environment, which revived the spirit of Ionia in Europe. The most important factor that enabled the rapid development of critical thinking in Europe was the prevalence of individual freedom. While the Ottomans did not allow the printing press to enter their country, 20 million books were printed between 1450 and 1500 in Europe, whose entire population was then only 60 million!
It was God's time
34:23 poor cat lol
guys Wow, can I get the same photo from the full moon 2016 is the same as this baby and the cat'thanks you
There must be another leonardo somewhere
We must all find him
There a job for you all and report back your findings on this page ???
Why can´t we have it in italian???
Oh my what sacrilege, dubbed away the most beautiful Italian language... criminal.
American network TV would never have shown a dubbed European series a few years later, say '75 or '76.
Really, what a shame. I'm sure we missed out on a lot of good foreign TV programs and film productions. I used to watch dubbed martial arts films when I was a kid, during the late 70's and early 80's, but perhaps those films were made prior to 1975. In recent years, I discovered that my country almost bought the rights to air the British science-fiction television series, Thunderbirds, but the deal fell through and American kids unfortunately grew up without it. But I'm having fun watching them now!
AS one commentator said, American Network TV is as isolationist as that of Mainland China. Dubbed martial arts films were shown in theaters more than on TV, and continued to be shown into the 80s. I'm sure they continued bringing in new ones, like Jackie Chan in the 90s.They were shown on local TV and cable. THUNDERBIRDS WAS shown on local US TV stations in the 60s and became fairly well known here. I don't know where you read it wasn't on here-maybe a network passed up on it, but local stations definitely took it.
Ah, that's good to hear! I must have misheard or misinterpreted that while I was watching the Thunderbirds special features on the DVDs I bought. Perhaps American stations merely failed to secure and renew their rights to air the show and didn't get to continue that privilege. The British production company of that show had greatly raised the price (against the creator's wishes). I also remember learning that the creator, Gerry Anderson, wanted to continue the show, but the new producer wanted to cancel it, along with other shows they'd created with marionette puppets. He was very disappointed and so were a lot of fans during the late 60's. I feel better, now, knowing that American kids did, indeed, get to experience Thunderbirds! Thanks for letting me know!
It was ABC, CBS, and NBC that rarely or never showed foreign shows. Public stations ran MONTY PYTHON, for instance, and THE BENNY HILL SHOW, like THUNDERBIRDS, was syndicated. Martial Arts films from Hong Kong were bought by individual stations from the 70s on but not shown on major networks.
Steve Burstein Boy, you sure know your television and cinema history! By the way, I used to enjoy watching Monty Python. I'll have to see if I can find those episodes online somewhere. Take care!

Wait is that leonardo laying on the bed right now!!!!😣😣😱😱😱🤯🤯🤯 because i saw the painting of mona lisa...
Yes, that's Leonardo lying in bed. This series starts out by showing what is believed to be an exaggerated, embellished, hypothetical deathbed scene. Then the series jumps to the beginning of his childhood to piece together the story of his life.
Leonardo da Vinci was tanned Mediterranean type not nordic European type!
The actor playing Leonardo is French not nordic.
Excelent film. Un film atit de bun să nu fie tradus în limba romana? noi respectam regula comunități, dar domnia dumneavoastră pe noi abonați? Nu va bateți joc.
So he didn’t die at 75. This video is suspect right from start.
Leonardo was 67 years old when he died. NOT 75
1452 until 1519 do the math.
Not too long ago I found this with italian speech and english subtexts - and the original music. Can´t find it. Sad. This music is unpleasant and eardrum-piercing and the voices are awful.
Ah, that's good to know that there is an original Italian version with original music. I hope I can view that version, someday.

Is this true?
It's loosely based on known historical accounts of Leonardo's life and the times he lived in, using much of his own writings and drawings, along with a lot of educated guesswork to fill in the gaps.

Leos grandfather said get in the car how does he know about cars in the 15th century
Haha, I believe he said "Get in the cart!" But his 'English dubbed' speech, which was originally filmed in Italian, was a bit slurred. I wouldn't be surprised if the word 'car' derived from the older term ''cart,' which probably means something like 'to carry.'
except for the last supper + mona lisa, he didn't do anything. He has returned.
Well, it's probably more accurate to say he hardly ever finished a project or painting, which unfortunately is true, but he explored and accomplished a great deal in terms of his artistic explorations and his invention ideas. He was a very creative genius in his time.
