Saturday, Sunday and Monday

Rosa, a mature mother of several children, is concerned that her beloved husband Don Peppino is losing interest in her, and does his best to provoke some jealousy in him. She is a masterful cook, and if her romantic charms are fading, her culinary skills are not. By one means and another, and after some amusing confrontations, she succeeds in keeping her husband from taking her for granted and harmony is restored.

Mano rubata

A young writer meets an enigmatic girl who becomes his obsession. Over the course of a strip poker game at a wealthy household, an extreme game of seduction takes place that comes dangerously close to death. Lattuada switches the plot's timeline from the 60s to the 80s, and the setting from Rome to Paris.

Champagne Charlie

This is the story of the Charles Heidsieck who opened the market for Champagne sales in America just prior to the American Civil War. He is a reluctant French spy and is captured and spends time in a Union prison. There are two parallel love stories (he is French) and some battles with his uncle for control of the family vineyard (because his father married his mother who the uncle also loved).
