La moglie del prete (1970)

(The Priest's Wife)

Country: IT/FR
Technical: col 106m
Director: Dino Risi
Cast: Sophia Loren, Marcello Mastroianni

Synopsis:

The title says it all, really: a priest rescues a romantically abused young woman from suicide, but soon finds himself the target of her affections.

Review:

Agreeable comedy-satire on the church and its fossilised values. It sadly runs out of steam before the end, but the stars carry the day.
