Casanova is a 1987 American made-for-television biographical romantic comedy film directed by Simon Langton.

"[7] Chamberlain said he enjoyed playing the role "because he believed in grasping every moment of life and making the most out of it.

The critic from the Chicago Tribune said "broadly and clumsily directed by Simon Langton from a disappointing script by George MacDonald Fraser (there is also a longer, European version with nude sequences), it is consistently stolid and curiously lacking in sensuality--tepid Tom Jones.

"[9] The Los Angeles Times said "the film suffers for its identity crisis" and the filmmakers lacked "a clear point of view about their subject" and were "unable to establish a sustaining tone.

In between are long, tedious passages... Chamberlain exudes his usual charm, but even that is put to poor use...

Women fling themselves at him and apparently want nothing more than his sexual favors... [the film] doesn't want to be taken very seriously, but it's too muddled and drawn out to be taken for fun, either.
