Lucia Bosè and Massimo Girotti starred in this film.It is Antonioni's take on The Postman Always Rings Twice by James M. Cain. A wealthy businessman, Enrico, hires a detective agency. It seems that Enrico is starting to get curious about his drop-dead gorgeous but mysterious young wife Paola, whom he married During the War. A detective named Carloni looks into Paola's background and eventually discovers a disturbing connection between Paola, an old boyfriend of Paola's named Guido, and the death of Guido's fiancée Giovanna.Meanwhile, Guido, who now works as a car salesman, gets word from an acquaintance that someone is investigating him. He makes contact with Paola, whom he has not seen since she married Enrico seven years ago. Soon they have rekindled their love affair. Paola, who wants out of her dull, loveless marriage but doesn't want to do anything as inconvenient as give up Enrico's fortune, comes up with an idea: the two lovers can kill her husband.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Deus ex Machina: Or, depending on how you look at it, Diabolus ex Machina. Guido is waiting with a gun, to shoot Enrico as Enrico slows his car to make a hairpin turn—when there's a sound of a crash coming from up the road. Enrico has had a fatal car accident just a couple of hundred yards away, thus sparing Guido the murder on his conscience.

Bittersweet Ending: Bittersweet but still an upgrade from the Downer Ending tragedy of either the novel or the other film adaptations. Guido is spared from killing Enrico when Enrico has a fatal car accident just a couple hundred yards away from the spot where Guido was lying in wait. But even though he's not actually a murderer, Guido, who is stricken with guilt, forsakes Paola and leaves town.
