(105 NR) 1962 Italy Pietro Germi, director
Opens Jul 10
This July at the Art Theatre of Long Beach, we’re proud to present MONDO ITALIA! A week of films set in and around Italy, spanning more than sixty years of travel, romance, memory, and menace beneath the Italian sun.
Baron Ferdinando Cefalù (Marcello Mastroianni) longs to marry his nubile young cousin Angela (Stefania Sandrelli), but one obstacle stands in his way: his fatuous and fawning wife, Rosalia (Daniela 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.
The Criterion Collection is proud to present director Pietro Germi’s hilarious and cutting satire of Sicilian male-chauvinist culture, winner of the 1962 Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.
