I originally saw this movie during a late night TV marathon for all the movies these two actors made together. I fell in love with them as an acting duo and recommended a few of their movies to multiple people. But years passed and I eventually forgot their names and the title of the movie.

Has anyone seen this movie recently? I saw it back in the 90's and I thought it was brilliant, passionate, romantic, and tragic. But I also remember it being quite crude with the dialogue and it's probably pretty sexist by today's standards.

I have always wanted to share this movie with my wife, but I couldn't remember what it was called. I have asked around before and no one knew what it was, based on my description. I just asked ChatGPT and it instantly identified it. I haven't seen it in 25 years, and I'm wondering if it holds up. Is this a good movie? Do you think it is wise to recommend to my wife that we watch this?

Just for my own perverse curiosity, why would anyone downvote this post (as of this writing, 4 upvotes and 2 downvotes)? Did Giannini kick your dog or something? Wertmuller promised you a part in a film then backed down?

For those who don't know it...

Directed by the great Lina Wertmuller, starring a young Giancarlo Giannini and Mariangela Melato.

I'll be back later after I soak up (coincidentally) some more Mediterranean sea and sun ☀️🌊🏄
