Wifemistress (1977)

"Wifemistress" is a smoldering Italian period drama about a woman living two separate lives under one roof. Repression and desire simmer beneath its formal, corseted surface. Laura Antonelli headlines the film with a performance that commits fully to its dual nature. She bares all as her character slips between dutiful wife and something far more reckless. The hub holds 3 scenes pulled from the film, catching Antonelli nude and deep in its most explicit turns. For admirers of her work, this page offers a tight, potent sampling of one of her most defining roles.
