La Donna della Domenica (1976)

Donna della Domenica, La (1976, ITA/FRA) C-105m. *** D: Luigi Comencini. Starring Jacqueline Bisset, Marcello Mastroianni, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Aldo Reggiani, Pino Caruso, Lina Volonghi. Satirical crime drama about the murder of a lawyer and subsequent investigation by commissario Mastroianni. Frustrated wife Bisset may have done it with homosexual friend Trintignant, but it turns out that there are more suspects and Mastroianni doesn't have a clue. This adaptation of Franco Lucentini and Carlo Frutti's novel lacks suspense but makes interesting observations of Italian bourgeois society. Good ensemble keeps things bubbling. Good score by Ennio Morricone. Photographed by Luciano Tovoli. Also known as THE SUNDAY WOMAN.
