Cinema in Piazza: Up the Boot - Divorce Italian Style (Divorzio all’italiana)

A comic and brusquely satirical tale about the bored and near-impoverished Baron Cefalù (Marcello Mastroianni), who longs to marry his gorgeous teenage cousin Angela (Stefania Sandrelli). But first, he must rid himself of his cloying wife, Rosalia (Daniela Rocca)—and the only practical method, he concludes, is to act out a role in the ongoing theater of his little town and kill her.
