la Moglie Piu Bella (The Most Beautiful Wife)

"A dark and tense thriller with plenty of great drama and a fantastic lead performance from the completely enchanting Ornella Muti." - Ian Jane, Rock! Shock! Pop!

Director Damiano Damiani's The Most Beautiful Wife (La Moglie Più Bella, 1970) stars the then 14-year-old beauty, Ornella Muti, as a real-life Sicilian girl who dared to challenge the local Mafia. Instead of acceding to a malignant old custom allowing a young Don to kidnap and rape a prospective bride, she puts her foot down and goes to the police, unleashing the rage of the mobsters, but also the disapproval of her family and neighbors. Highlighted by a score from the great maestro, Ennio Morricone, available on this Twilight Time release as an isolated track.
