Review

A handsome young man gets pulled into the wrong kind of love triangle in the frothy Italian melodrama La Moglie di mio padre (1976). Translated as My Father’s Wife, the title of Andrea Bianchi’s film should tell you all you need to know about its conflict. Poor Claudio (Cesare Barro) is so infatuated, and his mother-in-law Laura (Carroll Baker) so insatiable, that it makes for a recipe for disaster. As father/husband Antonio (Adolfo Celi) stands innocently by, the two shack up behind his back. Fortunately he’s able to forget his sorrows by studying the anatomy of acquaintance Femi Benussi--a playmate capable of lifting men’s spirits by lifting her top.
