Dominique Sanda as a Gilded Age gold-digger whose serpentine scheme to get her hands on the fortune of a miserly retired baker (Anthony Quinn) takes her first through the bedrooms of the old buzzard's two disinherited sons. Aside from maximizing Sanda's opportunities to slip out of her clothes, the logic of her plan eludes us as it is unfolding, and the stupidity of it comes clear as soon as we understand it. Overlong, overtalky, and overstuffed with the sort of opulent period decor which the Italians seem to be able to whip up in their sleep. Directed by Mauro Bolognini. (1976) — Duncan Shepherd
