Her story became emblematic of the conformist and repressive climate of that period. Orr seems to take offense at Appleby, who is patriotic and a conformist. In the aftermath of the conformist assault, the 1590s were relatively free of theological controversy. Martin Marprelate published a series of tracts attacking leading conformist clergy. The Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci made the motion picture "The Conformist" (1970). For me, Kasner was always trustworthy and certainly no conformist. He first worked with Bertolucci on "The Conformist" (1970). Plus he stages the best tango since "The Conformist".
