Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Steno directed over 40 films but this remains his most pointed gender satire, reportedly inspired by Italy's then-new divorce laws.
The film captures 1981 Italy's anxiety around legalized divorce — Enrico's panic mirrors a nation of men realizing marriage wasn't eternal.
