Woman Times Seven
Feat. Shirley Maclaine, Rossano Brazzi, Vittorio Gassman, Lex Barker, Elsa Martinelli, Robert Morley, Patrick Wymark, Adrienne Corri, Alan Arkin, Michael Caine, Anita Ekberg, Philippe Noiret, Peter Sellers
Aroview: Shirley MacLaine inhabits seven different women in seven fanciful, star-studded mini-stories of adultery for Italian dir. Vittorio De Sica.
In "Funeral Possession" she plays a wayward widow at her husband's funeral; in "Amateur Night", an angry wife who becomes a streetwalker out of revenge; in "Two Against One", a seemingly prudish girl turns out otherwise; in "Super Simone", a wife who vainly attempts to distract her writer husband; "At the Opera", is a battle over a supposedly exclusive dress; "Suicides", a death pact; and "Snow", a would-be suitor is actually a private detective hired by her jealous husband.

3 stars (Good Enough) As a showcase for Shirley Maclaine this is fantastic as she excels in a variety of wildly different roles. But like most portmanteau films it's uneven and you find yourself waiting for a segment to end in the hope that the next will be better. ~Pearce
