Quick Answer

What is Woman Times Seven about?

Woman Times Seven is a 1967 Italy-France-USA comedy, drama, and romance film directed by Vittorio De Sica about seven different stories of women—each portrayed by Shirley MacLaine—navigating love, infidelity, and Parisian intrigue.

Programmer's Pick

Where else can you watch Shirley MacLaine slip into seven personas—sometimes in a slip, sometimes in a wedding dress? Vittorio De Sica gives Parisian romance a sardonic spin, proving once again that infidelity and fashion are never far apart in the city of light.

Overview

Woman Times Seven spins seven witty and often provocative tales set in Paris, each focusing on a different woman—every one played by Shirley MacLaine. The vignettes range from a widow making unexpected moves at her husband's funeral to a wife who considers streetwalking for revenge, a supposedly prim woman revealing her true colors, and a wife vying for attention from her distracted writer husband. Other stories include a fashion duel at the opera, a melodramatic suicide pact, and a would-be suitor revealed to be a private detective. Directed by Vittorio De Sica, the film blends comedy, drama, and romance, playfully dissecting the intricacies of love, fidelity, and identity with a distinctly Parisian flair.
