A bored upper-class Sicilian (Mastroianni) has grown tired of his wife and would rather marry his attractive cousin. Unfortunately, divorce is illegal in Italy. Therefore, he decides to find a lover for his wife and murder her out of "jealousy". A hilarious farce about love and marriage. Academy Award Nominations: 3, including Best Director, Best Actor-Marcello Mastroianni.
Cast:
"...[A] still funny spoof of Italy's divorce laws....Capped by a satisfying final gag..." -- 3 1/2 out of 4 stars
-- Mike Clark
, (USA Today)
"This classic tickler is the driest and blackest of dry, black comedies..." -- Gregory Kirschling , (Entertainment Weekly) "Mastroianni gives one of the most detailed and amusing performances of his career." -- Tim Lucas , (Sight and Sound) |
