(DVD, Scorpion Releasing)
After Sophia Loren's husband is killed by fascists for organizing a strike of the local fisherman, she vows to take revenge on the man responsible. Visiting lawyer Marcello Mastroianni, a communist who idolized Marx, falls in love with her while taking up her cause. At first repulsed, perhaps by his freakishly long beard, she later warms up to him after he saves her from an attempted rape. However, she later falls for a brutish American mafia boss. The love triangle goes nowhere, with the plot from that point forward revolving around which man is the father of her baby. In addition to the aforementioned beard, Loren's face is obscured by heavy makeup around her eyes, another distraction in a film that could ill afford it.
