Lettera a tre mogli

A Letter to Three Wives

by Joseph L. Mankiewicz

Three ladies receive a letter from their “best friend” Addie Ross, who announces that she is running away with one of their husbands, but she does not say which one.
Little by little, through the use of flashbacks  we discover the weaknesses of each of the three couples, in a tale of passion, fragility, little tragedies and pettiness, illustrated with a bright irony.
Mankiewicz, who won the Oscar as a screenwriter and director of this film, embodies a jewel of refinement and wickedness, one of the most bitter comedies on the American bourgeoisie.
