Widescreen. Directed by
Ettore Scola. Dramma Della Gelosia is a freewheeling satire of Italian mores, hilarious despite its outwardly morbid plotline. The story is told in a long flashback involving
Monica Vitti, middle-aged Communist bricklayer
Marcello Mastroianni, and young pizza chef Giancarlo Giannini. The married Mastrioanni falls in love with Vitti, but Giannini gets in the way. A fight results, after which the girl is hospitalized. Declaring a truce, the three lovers move in together, allowing Vitti time to decide whom she loves best. The subsequent discord nearly results in the girl's suicide; she moves out and takes up with butcher Hercules Cortes, but returns to Gianinni when he attempts suicide. The now unemployed and unmarried Mastrioanni shows up, and when Vitti refuses again to commit herself to any one man, another fight results...
