This 1961 film is a comedy of manners for an honor-based society. Marcello Mastroianni as a bored Sicilian baron wants to divorce his wife and marry his cousin, but, cannot, so he arranges for his wife to have an affair, upon which the rules of honor requires him to kill her. Thus, a black comedy. Mastroianni plays his character as utterly amoral, like the hero of The Stranger.
