Woman Times Seven (DVD)

Seven different stories, seven very different women and one incredibly talented actress. In the film that won her a Golden Globe, Hollywood star Shirley Maclaine (The Apartment, Sweet Charity, Terms Of Endearment) portrays an amazing array of characters over a series of satirical vignettes tackling the universal subjects of love and adultery. These include a distraught widow dealing with amorous advances, a bored housewife becoming a hooker, suicidal lovers, naked poetry reading, psychotic socialites, and a chance encounter on public transport that leads to a bittersweet, oignant conclusion. Directed by Vittorio De Sica (The Bicycle Thief, Umberto D, Marriage Italian Style), Woman Times Seven is a humorous, racy, controversial meditation on sexual politics and matters of the heart. Featuring some of the most popular faces of sixties cinema, including Michael Caine, Peter Sellers, Alan Arkin, Anita Ekberg and Rossano Brazzi.
