A comedy about a young girl (Spaak) who tries to kill her husband (Griffith), a musical genius 40 years her senior, to free herself to marry her beatnik lover (Bennett). Details on how she attempts to do this drain the potential humor and slow the plot flow. Griffith's performance as a man
who cherishes life and his young bride is well done, unlike the performances of Bennett and Spaak. This Italian production aimed for the larger American market.
