Alain E An excellent tragicomedy by Dino Risi. Ugo Tognazzi is spectacular as an amoral womanizer married to an older sour woman. Ornella Muti is a young very beautiful widow who was married to his wife’s brother who has disappeared in Ethiopia and now lives in their household. A young aimless man on a boat completes the main trio. In the beginning there is eating, drinking and lots of sex , but in the end the wages of sin are dour. Nice restored color cinematography. The music also is very good in the spirit of Nino Rota, but by different composer. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/01/25 Full Review Read all reviews
