Mario Monicelli's screwy comedy features the delightful Monica Vitti as an unbelievably resilient would-be bride who will stop at nothing to get her louse of a groom to actually marry her. Chasing him from Italy to England and running into one loony situation after another, Vitti gives the role her all. When doctor Stanley Baker crosses her path, mayhem ensues. A terrific featherweight comedy that somehow managed to snag an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language film. Corin Redgrave and James Booth co-star and there's great cinematography by Carlo De Palma, who also shot Vitti in Michelangelo Antonioni's first color film RED DESERT a few years earlier.
