Synopsis
The Most Beautiful Wife (La moglie più bella, 1970) — watch online on iFILM. This Italian crime drama by Damiano Damiani marked the screen debut of Ornella Muti, then just 15 years old.
A young Sicilian named Francesca turns down a local mafia man's marriage proposal — she likes him well enough, but she refuses to be owned. His revenge is swift and brutal. What happens next sets the film apart from the usual mob story: she goes to the police.
Damiani based the script on a real case, and the film's sharp edge comes from that source. The system, the family, even Francesca's own parents believe no mafioso will ever be convicted. Whether she gets justice is the question the film spends its full 108 minutes refusing to answer simply. Stream The Most Beautiful Wife online on iFILM.
