An aging and wealthy American woman journeys to Rome each year with her chauffeur George to play the card game scopone with destitute Peppino and his wife Antonia.

Eventually their daughter Cleopatra seeks revenge on her parents' behalf. Director: Luigi Comencini Writer: Rodolfo Sonego Stars: Alberto Sordi, Silvana Mangano, Joseph Cotten, Bette Davis
