 Marcello Mastroianni stars in director Pietro
Germi's wickedly funny classic
as a decadent Sicilian aristocrat who is bored with life, and much more so
with his wife (Daniela Rocca). Ferdinando's roving eye settles on his beautiful
16-year-old cousin (Stefania Sandrelli), and coveting her purity and innocence,
he sets out to change spouses. Italian law won't allow a divorce, but our amoral
protagonist observes that authorities are lenient toward husbands who kill
unfaithful wives in matters of "honor." And so he decides his first step is
to find his wife a lover. Winner of an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay,
this terrifically entertaining satire also earned a "Best Actor" Oscar nomination
for Mastroianni, and it remained one of his greatest roles. Shown in a new
35mm print. In Italian with English subtitles. With Leopoldo
Trieste. Writers: Ennio De Concini, Pietro Germi, Alfredo Giannetti. Director:
Pietro Germi.
(Italy 1961) 105 min.
From August 12 to August 14 - Show time
