About The Wife on Vacation... The Lover in Town
Andrea Damiani sends his wife Valeria off on a skiing holiday so he can spend time with his demanding mistress, Giulia. Little does he suspect that Valeria is having a rendezvous with a Count she recently met. However, Valeria does not know that 'Count' Giovanni is really just a manager's assistant, namely, Andrea's.
Directed by Sergio Martino, The Wife on Vacation... The Lover in Town leans on a strong ensemble — Edwige Fenech, Barbara Bouchet, Renzo Montagnani — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1980.
