Sicilian immigrant who is unable to master proper Italian. The 2nd tale "Love and
Life" is about a wife who becomes so desperate to be free of her constantly
philandering husband she takes on a lover of her own. When that doesn't work, she hires a
gorgeous maid in hopes of finally getting proof that he is cheating. Unfortunately, things
don't turn out quite the way she'd planned. In the 3rd episode, "Love and Art" a
nearly exhausted screenwriter hires a secretary to help manage his typing. She's a pretty
girl his wife becomes jealous and he has to fire her. He then hires a male secretary. This
man also wants to write for the movies and soon begins making changes to his boss'work
making him a big success. The first screenwriter is so happy about this that he even
doesn't mind when his secretary begins having an affair with his wife. "Love and
Death," the final episode tells about a woman (Michèle Mercier) who frequents
cemeteries and pretends to be a widow mourning her husband just so that she can pick up
wealthy bereaved men burying their wives, strike up a romance, and fleece the guys out of
their money. |
