My Wife's Enemy

My Wife's Enemy (Italian: Il nemico di mia moglie) is a 1959 Italian comedy film directed by Gianni Puccini. The screenplay was written by Castellano and Pipolo together with Puccini and Ettore Scola. Marcello Mastroianni heads the cast, which also features Giovanna Ralli, Vittorio De Sica, Memmo Carotenuto, Luciana Paluzzi, Andrea Checchi, Raimondo Vianello and Enzo Garinei. Shot in Italian and running about 100 minutes, the film belongs to the wave of popular comedies that flourished in Italian cinema at the end of the 1950s. It stands among Puccini's early works as a director and reflects the era's taste for light, character-driven humor built around marital and domestic friction.
