Storyline
In the Eighteenth Century, in a small village in Ireland, Redmond Barry is a young farm boy in love of his cousin Nora Brady. When Nora engages to the British Captain John Quin, Barry challenges him for a duel of pistols. He wins and escapes to Dublin, but is robbed on the road. Without any other alternative, Barry joins the British Army to fight in the Seven Years War. He deserts and is forced to join the Prussian Army, saving the life of his captain and becoming his protégé and spy of the Irish gambler Chevalier de Balibari. He helps Chevalier and becomes his associate until he decides to marry the wealthy Lady Lyndon. They move to England and Barry, in his obsession of nobility, dilapidates her fortune and makes a dangerous and revengeful enemy. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Trivia
Contrary to legend, this film did use artificial lighting in some scenes (for example, in the scene where Brian learns he's getting a horse). However, it is true that no artificial lighting was used for the candlelit scenes. A lens built by the Carl Zeiss company for NASA, a 50mm Zeiss lens modified with the Kollmorgen adaptor used in still cameras, was used to shoot scenes lit only by candlelight. This lens had the largest aperture of any ever built for movie use (f/0.7). See more »Goofs
Audio/visual unsynchronized: The position of Lady Lyndon's fingers while playing the harpsichord with the orchestra. The fingering is close, but certainly not correct. See more »Quotes
