Seven mini-stories starring Shirley MacLaine: "Funeral Possession", a wayward widow at her husband's funeral; "Amateur Night", angry wife becomes a streetwalker out of revenge; "Two Against One", seemingly prudish girl turns out otherwise; "Super Simone", wife vainly attempts to divert her over-engrossed writer husband; "At the Opera", a battle over a supposedly exclusive dress; "Suicides", a death pact; and "Snow", would-be suitor is actually a private detective hired by jealous husband.
The elegant score by Riz Ortolani builds upon two major themes and several memorable source cues. Instead of penning a ditty pop song to open the movie, Ortolani unleashes a magnificent orchestral theme to lend gravitas to the project and estabilish it as a film that’s more than the sum of its parts. The two recurring love themes offer sympathetic accompaniment to the women, especially during the heartbreaking last segment while MacLaine must face her feelings while a handsome stranger is following her. The score is rounded out with a hilarious funeral march and a cool party song.
