Short description
In an industrializing Italian town, a married woman, rendered mentally unstable after a traffic accident, drifts into an affair with a friend of her husband.
What's left behind the scenes
- The working title of the film was “Sky-Blue and Green” (Celeste e verde) – in the film, the heroine played by Monica Vitti wants to paint her shop in these colors, because “they are cool colors that shouldn’t irritate.”
- During filming, actor Richard Harris experimented with LSD, which complicated the shooting process – once he was caught by the Roman police climbing the famous Trevi Fountain, after which he was taken to a hotel where, under the influence of the drug, he broke several windows with his fists.
- Shortly before the end of filming, Richard Harris flew out of Italy without warning. An actor of similar build was urgently found to be filmed from the back and from a distance. During post-production, all of Harris’s lines were dubbed by an Italian actor.
