"Andrea Artusi" (Ugo Tognazzi) is a wealthy hatmaker who happens to have an extremely beautiful wife by the name of "Maria Grazia" (Claudia Cardinale) who loves him very much. Knowing this, Andrea doesn't worry too much about her being unfaithful to him. This changes, however, when he is seduced by an attractive woman named "Cristiana" (Michele Girardon) who happens to be the wife of one of his colleagues. Suddenly, he realizes that, if Cristiana can effortlessly cheat on her husband, then Maria Grazia can easily do the same to him--especially considering how beautiful she is. From that point on, his life becomes a nightmare with every gesture and nuance from her being interpreted as infidelity on her part. And this only creates more problems the longer his suspicions remain unconfirmed. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was a decent comedy which started off a bit slow but got better as the film progressed. Likewise, having an absolutely gorgeous actress like Claudia Cardinale certainly didn't hurt this movie in any way either. Be that as it may, while this movie certainly wasn't a great comedy by any means, I still enjoyed it for the most part and have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
