I ended up watching this movie after reading the book from which it was adapted, written by Giovanni Arpino. Adapted by Bernardino Zapponi and enriched with some aspects, it has not lost the charm of the novel. The director did an excellent job. Halfway between gothic and dramatic, it gradually reveals its cards, leading the viewer towards the end. A film almost forgotten today but that deserves to be seen, also for the interpretation of its protagonists. The great scenic couple formed by Vittorio Gassman and Catherine Deneuve is impressive. Anicée Anlvina also intrigued me. An Italian film that deserves a chance, of that I am more than sure.
