Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Adua and Her Friends (aka "Hungry for Love") is a 1960 film from Italy, directed by Antonio Pietrangeli.With the passage of the "Merlin Law", brothels in Italy have been banned. As one particular brothel in Rome goes out of business, four prostitutes go into business for themselves. They are: Adua, the oldest of the bunch (Simone Signoret), basically the boss; Marilina (Emmanuelle Riva), who has a small son, and who is far more high-string and nervous than the rest; Lolita (Sandra Milo), the youngest and sexiest of the group, and also the dumbest as she has entrusted most of her money to a con artist; and Milly (Gina Rovere), sort of the Hufflepuff House of the group.The four women pool their savings and acquire a dilapidated old building on Rome's outskirts. The general idea is to start a restaurant that will be a cover for their continuing prostitution activities upstairs, but at least sex work that they'll be doing for themselves rather than for a pimp. However, because they're prostitutes with police records, they are denied a restaurant license. They turn to one of their old clients, wealthy Ercoli, who agrees to back their venture...provided that they pay him a million lira a month from their profits.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Marcello Mastroianni plays Piero, a sleazy used-car salesman who takes a fancy to Adua. | |

Disproportionate Retribution: Adua has a deeply satisfying moment in which she exposes Ercoli as the slimy pimp that he is in front of an entire restaurant full of people. This is followed by Ercoli wreaking terrible revenge: not only having all four women arrested for prostitution, but arranging for a story to be published in the paper, publicly humiliating all of them and destroying their chances for respectable lives. | |

As You Know...: An ugly fight between Adua and Marilina early in the film includes Adua screeching "You even had a baby!" to Marilina. This sets up the arrival of Marilina's little boy later in the film, as she has brought him back from boarding school now that she's no longer in sex work. | |
