Italian film directed by Damiano Damiani (who later did Amityville 2) which I only watched because Belinda Lee has a support role. It's about an industrialist (Sergio Fantoni) who owes a lot of money who decides to hire Alberto Lupo to kill his creditor. Belinda Lee is his wife - quite dowdy in comparison to her normal European roles. When Lupo slaps her around she goes silent, takes her coat and the kids and leaves. Later they get back together.
Lee gets a few other chances to act here - a break down, yelling at her husband. So too Sylva Koscina who plays Fantoni's girl.Cesare Zavattini was one of the writers. This doesn't play out the way I thought it would. I figured Lupo would kill relatively early then there would be twists and turns. But actually it's mostly Lupo angsting.
Nice to see Lee in a film which actually tries to be good. Doesn't quite get there, but it's interesting.
