An Italian perspective on betrayal by both husbands and some wives, at times it is sad, at times truly pathetic as when one of the two main characters is at a convention and wants to bed a woman and his behaviour is abonimable, quite appropriately the woman he has behaved badly towards ridicules him the next morning to her friends,
in another sequence though he is able to bribe workers at a hotel to fool his wife who has seen him being fellated in his car by a pick-up, and make her believe that she is mentaly ill and have her hospitalized, the character is nasty, there is nothing funny about him,
his close pal though, is a dishonest rather pathetic man who achieves his relief though a hole in the wall in a brothel, his smart wife realizes his lies and follows him, with the expected twist.
It could be said that this movie shows men at their dishonest worst,and the final scene is intended as their "defence" with one new man essentially saying "I'm not like you, there are some of us who are still decent guys"
My questions include, how do women see the women in this movie? Are the women portrayed as smart, or gullible, is the first woman justified in her rage at her dishonest husband when we see the other side of her?
