Cinevox MDF625 Director : Luigi Comencini (1975) AKA : The Sunday Woman La Femme Du Dimanche
La donna della domenica, Italian French co-production directed in 1975 by Luigi Comencini and interpreted by Jacqueline Bisset, Marcello Mastroianni, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Aldo Reggiani, Pino Caruso, brings the signature of the Oscar Award Ennio Morricone.
Based on the 1972 noir romance with the same name written by Fruttero & Lucentini, the movie tells us of the investigations of Commissioner Santamaria (Mastroianni) upon the assassination of an architect; traces bring him in the ambiet of the wealthy middle-classes of Turin where he meets Anna Carla (Bisset), a beautiful and mysterious woman and will follow another sanguinary delict.
All the most beloved elements of Cinema Music by Ennio Morricone are present in this short but fascinating score. Morricone composed a theme with variations, a kind of romantic melody that describes the extreme femininity of the protagonist, but at the same time insane with a declared sence of urban reality given by the sound of the flugelhorn by Oscar Valdambrini. The composer alternates this Main Theme with dramatic atmosphere and suspence that create the right sound color for the story.
