New on Blu-ray: THE MAGNIFICENT CUCKOLD / IL MAGNIFICO CORNUTO (1964) - Limited Edition

The Magnificent Cuckold 1964 New On Bluray

Product Description: A happily married businessman (Ugo Tognazzi, Weak Spot) succumbs to the advances of one of his less square, more open-minded female friends. His eyes now open to the rampant adultery among his high-society acquaintances, he is amazed at the ease with which they lie to their loved ones. Soon, he begins to suspect his loving wife (Claudia Cardinale, Girl with a Suitcase) of infidelity - even as she guesses nothing of his own extramarital affair. Antonio Pietrangeli's luscious adaptation of Fernand Crommelynck's tale of obsession and delusion skewers the changing mores and tenacious prejudices of 1960s Italian society with style. As the troubled husband's paranoia takes him ever further away from reality, his fantasies come to life in sumptuous dream sequences, each one a dashing tribute to the radiant charm of Claudia Cardinale.
