Once Franco founded Aetos in 1968 or thereabouts, he seems to have distanced himself from B.R.C.
or perhaps resigned altogether.
Once he left, there were a few movies that seemed to be good, but overall the quality took a

Okay, now to counter the countless claims
that researching movies is a piece of cake, kindergarten stuff, requiring no intellectual agility whatsoever,
that movie researchers are wasting time on pointless nonsense,
while important people do more difficult and useful things like sales and marketing and
As far as I know, this next movie, The Woman, was never made:
The Variety journalist was confused. Yes, Manolo Bolognini and Franco Rossellini had partnered on Teorema, but for Aetos, not B.R.C. Note also what the above article does not state. Manolo and Mauro Bolognini are mentioned as the movers and shakers of the upcoming B.R.C. productions. Franco Rossellini is mentioned only in the past tense. There is no mention at all of Sergio Corbucci, the “C” of B.R.C., who had resigned two years earlier. The text seems to imply that Franco Rossellini still had some involvement in B.R.C., especially given that it was once again B.R.C. rather than B.B.C., but he did not have any active involvement. At most he probably participated only in the annual meetings of the board of directors, and maybe earned small royalties on the subsequent B.R.C productions. See how confusing this research gets? And don’t expect the tenured professors who write learned tomes on cinema history to know the first thing about any of this. There is no custodian of this knowledge of studios and production houses and the business side and financial side and investment side of cinema, and nobody apart from me seems to care.
The IMDb didn’t tag Bubù as a B.R.C. coproduction, but we can see that it was!

This next one, Afyon oppio, was at one time on B.R.C.’s plate,
but another studio took it over:

How many learned film scholars with PhD’s who write detailed analyses of the deeper symbolic meanings of auteurist films
would care that this is a coproduction between between B.R.C. and Aetos?
But this is vitally important to know.
