THE SUNDAY WOMAN

A high society wife (Jacqueline Bisset, DAY FOR NIGHT) and her gay friend (Jean-Louis Trintignat, THE CONFORMIST) are the key suspects in the murder of an architect in upper-class Turin, with Commissioner Santamaria (Marcello Mastroianni, 8½) assigned to the case. With a murder mystery narrative worthy of Agatha Christie, THE SUNDAY WOMAN is also a sharp critique of Turin’s upper crust with a whip-smart screenplay by the celebrated duo Age & Scarpelli (BIG DEAL ON MADONNA STREET) and direction by the much-heralded Luigi Comencini (MISUNDERSTOOD).
