Adventures of Casanova is a 1948 American-Mexican historical adventure film directed by Roberto Gavaldón and starring Arturo de Córdova, Lucille Bremer, and Turhan Bey. It portrays a fictional version of the story of Casanova, and was supposedly intended to capitalize off of the Errol Flynn film The Adventures of Don Juan (although the latter film was actually released later that same year after a long production process). The film's sets were designed by the art directors Jorge Fernandez and Alfred Ybarra.
