Ultra Film
Starring: Stefania Sandrelli, Franco Nero
Directed by: Antonio Pietrangeli
Synopsis: Aspiring actress Adriana Astarelli (Stefania Sandrelli) lives and loves large in Rome where her inexperience and open heart continuously lead her astray.
Kitty Cameo: A parking attendant named Italo (Franco Nero) works in Adriana’s apartment building and is obviously attracted to her. In one scene she comes home and parks her car, then walks into Italo’s office where a tabby cat is sitting.
Adrianna comments that at least he isn’t alone and inquires what the female cat’s name is. Italo says he doesn’t know and picks up the cat while Adriana pets it.
Italo then grabs Adriana’s hand and she pulls away. The cat is not seen again.
Final Mewsings: Men should learn that women petting cats is not foreplay . . . or is it?
