What it is about
Miguel is a wealthy landowner whose relationships with women have always been strained, shaped by a controlling and possessive mother. His routine changes when he meets Marta, a young woman who claims to be running from the police after killing a man. He takes her in, and as they spend time together, old doubts and unsettling questions begin to surface.
How it was made
A Spanish-Italian co-production directed by José Antonio Nieves Conde, who co-wrote the script with Tito Carpi and Ricardo López Aranda. The story adapts the 1969 Madrid stage play Estado civil: Marta by Juan José Alonso Millán. Piero Piccioni composed the score, Ennio Guarnieri shot the film, and José Frade produced it. The cast includes Marisa Mell, Stephen Boyd, Isa Miranda and Jesús Puente.
Reception and legacy
Spain submitted the film as its entry for Best Foreign Language Film at the 44th Academy Awards, but it did not earn a nomination. It also won the fourth prize at the Sindicato Nacional del Espectáculo awards for 1971 film production.
