MGM
Directed by Vittorio De Sica
My rating: 3.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)
Faye Dunaway shows up at the mansion of wealthy Italian engineer Marcello Mastroianni where they begin an affair. Faye wears beautiful fashions while they frolic among the art work, or even in the grass outside. However, all is not as idyllic as it appears, the romantic music and settings broken by occasional images of ugliness. A friend of Faye's shows up after several days and her background, and motivation for the affair, is revealed. Mastroianni overacts in one key scene, but Dunaway is quite good throughout. A complex, haunting film that will require multiple viewings to fully comprehend.
