Inhalt: |
An odious architect is beaten to death and a high society wife (Jacqueline Bisset, Day for Night) and her gay friend (Jean-Louis Trintignant, The Conformist) are the key suspects with a discarded letter impIicating them in the crime. Commissioner Santamaria (Marcello Mastroianni, FeIlini’s 8 ½) is assigned to the case and tries to uncover the murder suspect in upper-class Turin. With a murder mystery narrative worthy of Agatha Christie, The Sunday Woman is aIso a sharp critique of Turin’s upper crust. The screenpIay, by the ceIebrated duo Age & ScarpelIi, famed for their masterpieces in the Commedia alI’ltaIiana boom incIuding Big DeaI on Madonna Street and The Organizer, is a whip-smart adaptation of the best-seIling novels by CarIo Fruttero and Franco Lucentini with the Iead character of Santamaria inspired by the real-life head of the FIying Squad. The much-heralded director Luigi Comencini (Misunderstood) often worked in a combination of comedy and drama, finding humour in tragedy, and is onIy waiting to be rediscovered as a master of post-war ltaIian cinema.
