BUY FROM AMAZON

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.

In a move to make his partner, Renato (Tognazzi), jealous, the flamboyant Albin (Serrault) waits in a local café—dressed as a woman—hoping to be picked up. But Albin gets more than he bargains for when the fly he catches in his web is actually a spy who uses him as an unwitting courier of secret microfilm! Now on the run from ruthless agents, Albin and Renato flee to Italy where they attempt to hide out on a farm with Albin posing as Renato’s wife! Can Albin escape the deadly pursuit of these relentless spies or does he have to sustain this charade—as a woman—forever? Édouard Molinaro (A Pain in the Ass) returns to the director’s chair and maestro Ennio Morricone (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly) provides the score for this uproarious sequel!
