Anthony Quinn plays a bakery tycoon alienated from his two sons and jealously guarding his wealth until a cunning beauty enters the picture, marries one son, seduces the other, then carefully moves in to capture both father and fortune. Rome, 1880. Gregorio Ferramonti (Anthony Quinn) has decided to close the family bakery. Then he tells his sons Pippo (Gigi Proietti) and Mario (Fabio Testi), and daughter Teta (Adriana Asti) that they will have to fend for themselves. But Irene (Dominique Sanda), Pippo's beautiful, calculating new wife, is determined to inherit the family fortune, and uses the guise of reconciling old family feuds to do so. (Cinemax)

The charming intriguer Irene, played by Dominique Sanda, imparts a lesson in disguise and manipulation to the members of the Ferramonti family and outsmarts them. The problem is that it is not possible to identify and root for anyone in the film, as practically all the actors are controlled by base instincts, greed, and lack of consideration. However, it is a very well-crafted and well-cast costume drama set in the 19th century with a decent set design, and so I can easily recommend it to fans of historical spectacles. The ending is surprising, and without knowledge of the laws and prevailing morals of that time, it is difficult for a modern viewer to understand. It must be said that the creators did not bother to explain the fundamental twist to their audience. Overall impression: 70%.
