In Sicily, Carlo Giuffrè has his friends kidnap the girl he wants, but they foul up and grab Monica Vitti instead. It's all one to him, so they have a torrid night of passion. But she kisses too well, so he flees to England. Now branded a wanton, she follows him to shoot him and reclaim her honor.
It's a fish-out-of-water comedy, with Miss Vitti utterly baffled by the casual attitude to sex shown by the British, where if a wife cheats on her husband, he tries to kill himself instead of her. She plays it well over the top as she runs into Stanley Baker, Corin Redgrave and othes, who view her with baffled amusement, The movie runs a bit long, but the Roman Vitti's burlesque of Sicilian women is funny throughout.
