At a political rally, bricklayer Oreste (Marcello Mastroianni) sees flower girl Adelaide (Monica Vitti) and is so thoroughly smitten that he decides he must leave his wife for her.

Audience Member This very enjoyable early 70's classic had very spotty & inconsistent releases...maybe the fact that the titles are different. One poster is entitled "A Drama of Jealousy" another "Pizza Triangle." Rarely has a director found such humor in such a dark story of human suffering. I loved the way the actors would turn to the camera & give us insights into the characters & story. Never beautiful except for the lush romantic soundtrack - this relatively unknown film deserves to be released on a scale that allows all film lovers to be able to get their hands on it. It's all prime pickings for a remake. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Mi-conte, mi-drame de moeurs. Une histoire drôle et touchante (oui, vous avez bien lu) sur un triangle amoureux. En fait, l'histoire ratisse encore plus large, c'est un peu difficile à expliquer... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
