Cinematheque: Comedy, Italian Style

Baron Ferdinando Cefalù (the irresistible Mastroianni) longs to marry his nubile young cousin Angela (Sandrelli), but one obstacle stands in his way: his fatuous and fawning wife, Rosalia (Rocca). His solution? Since divorce is illegal, he hatches a plan to lure his spouse into the arms of another and then murder her in a justifiable effort to save his honor. Winner of the 1962 Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. With Marcello Mastroianni, Stefania Sandrelli.
