	Divorce Italian Style - DVD Movie Central
		Divorce Italian Style is Italian superstar Marcello Mastroianni's turn in the spotlight, and his performance is a hilarious triumph of slow-burns, nervous tics, and pitch-perfect comic timing.
		Divorce Italian Style was not only his first comedy and greatest international success, but it also cemented the worldwide appeal of its legendary lead actor, Marcello Mastroianni.
		Divorce Italian Style is social commentary disguised as a witty and wry fl comedy.

	DVDFILE.COM: Divorce Italian Style Review
		But as Marcello Mastrioanni's voice cascades through Divorce Italian Style, it's obvious that this is no mere narration; it's an inner monologue serving as a road map through the film's shaky moral geography.
		Yet while the film's hilarity is definitely its memorable trait, the thematic underbelly of Divorce Italian Style is what transforms it from simply a grade-A slapstick comedy to a marvel of cinematic tightrope walking.
		Divorce Italian Style is irreverent, playful, and pubescent in its treatment of and approach to the middle-aged male libido, but the fall-down-ha-ha set pieces of the film allow for a constant stream of truth to trickle down the rocks of the picture.

	'Divorce Italian style': Marriage, Church and state in the making of modern Italy, 1860--1903
		When the Italian government made marriage a secular institution in 1865, it chose not to proceed to the logical conclusion of introducing divorce.
		However, by the 1870s and 1880s, when divorce legislation had become the norm elsewhere, an influential coterie of politicians took up the issue, attempting to continue along the secular, liberal path that had been opened by the achievement of unity.
		The definitive failure of divorce reform after 1903 was therefore a significant turning point that signaled the establishment of a new modus vivendi between the Italian state and the Church.

		Divorce Italian Style is a comedy milestone--a brilliant, biting satire that was originally conceived as a drama; directed with nonstop inventiveness by a filmmaker who had never done comedy; and featuring an actor who, though not even among the first dozen players considered, cemented his international stardom with this performance.

	DVD Savant Review: Divorce Italian Style
		Divorce is unthinkable in Catholic Italy, but for this hot-blooded Romeo, where there's a will there's a way.
		Divorce Italian Style doesn't make Ferdinando own up to any particular moral code, but it does work out its own brand of justice, which is slightly cynical but satisfyingly appropriate.
		Criterion's DVD of Divorce Italian Style is one of their polished presentations with a fine, high-contrast B&W image cleaned of all but the most miniscule imperfections.

	DVD Verdict Review - Divorce Italian Style: Criterion Collection
		Divorce Italian Style's wicked sense of humor is exemplified in Ferdinando's choice of time to murder his wife.
		But Divorce Italian Style's tone is so on the money the dark comedy induces laughter even as it perfectly exposes the ridiculous sexual double standards that govern the characters' lives.
		Divorce Italian Style is satire with teeth, a brilliant piece of fl comedy, and the pinnacle of Pietro Germi's career as a filmmaker.

		One doesn't usually expect a film about infidelity, divorce and murder to be a comedy but that's one reason Divorce, Italian Style, directed by Pietro Germi, became an unexpected international hit in 1962.
		Initially Pietro Germi intended to direct Divorce, Italian Style as a serious drama but soon admitted, "the deeper we got into the subject, though, we simply couldn't ignore the grotesquely comic aspects to the so-called crime of honor." (from Marcello Mastroianni: His Life and Art by Donald Dewey).
		In general, critics were unanimous in their praise of Divorce, Italian Style during its initial release and singled out Mastroianni, in particular.

		One example is of the man imagining various ways of killing his wife including sending her into space in a rocket, pushing her into a kettle of boiling water, and pushing her in quicksand.
		Divorce Italian Style offers a well-written and genuine comedy with deliberate intentions for the audience to ponder regarding the society and the social restrictions that govern the unhappy.
		Divorce isn't allowed in Italy at this time, so Ferdinando is left stewing over his problems, fantasizing about murdering Rosalia.

		Carlo Rustichelli, an Italian film composer who worked on hundreds of soundtracks and wrote music for the Oscar-winning "Divorce, Italian Style," died Saturday, news reports said.
		Rustichelli, known for his range of musical styles for films from light comedies to historical dramas, died at his home in Rome, the ANSA news agency said.
		Rustichelli also composed music for many films starring noted Italian comedian Toto, and for "The Four Days of Naples." The 1962 movie, about a revolt against the Nazis during World War II, was nominated for best foreign-language film and best screenplay at the Oscars.

		Of course, Germi also choreographs everything in Divorce Italian Style to precise comic effect, much as Preston Sturges did in the similar Unfaithfully Yours, giving characters and setting just enough of a grotesque twist to be funny, without grinding an elbow into your ribs.
		Actually, we learn in the bonus materials that Divorce Italian Style was conceived of as drama, not comedy, and are reminded that it was a big switch for Germi, who'd previously made only dramas until his co-writers persuaded him to tilt the story towards comedy.
		Unfortunately, Divorce Italian Style is the first and only Germi movie available on DVD in the U.S. (NoShame releases the earlier drama The Railroad Man in June).

	Divorce Italian Style Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Prior to Divorce Italian Style, Germi was known for dramas, such as The Railroad Man and A Man of Straw.
		In fact, Divorce Italian Style became, like Fellini's masterpiece, a huge international success, and went La Dolce Vita one better when it garnered Mastroianni his first Oscar nomination and won the award that had eluded Fellini and his writing partners a year earlier, the Academy Award for best original screenplay.
		A final 10-minute interview with Divorce's surviving co-screenwriter, Ennio de Concini, is by far the best of the supplemental video material, as he describes how the screenplay evolved, and talks about how Germi and his partners once discussed a far more cynical ending.

		Marcello Mastroianni is the Sicilian nobleman who dreams of marrying his pure and innocent cousin (Stefania Sandrelli) but must first rid himself of his wife (Daniela Rocca).
		Italian law won't permit a divorce, but it is understanding about husbands who kill their unfaithful mates--so Mastroianni takes his wife out shopping for a lover.
		Drawing on the sangfroid of the British murder comedies of the 50s (in particular, Robert Hamer's Kind Hearts and Coronets), director Pietro Germi gave a new impetus to Italian comedy with this 1962 feature: he nudged the genre from farce to satire, from the comedy of hysterical overplaying to the wit of underreaction.

	filmcritic.com Movie Review: Divorce - Italian Style
		It's a fl and silly exercise in hilarity, a very dark and twisted comedy from a director known for a series of dramas (and originally meant as such).
		But Pietro Germi's handle on the absurdity of Italian morality is more than just a delightful goof, it's a biting satire and indictment of Italian machismo: The notion of Divorce Italian style was extremely real in its era.
		Still, for all its comedy and social smashmouthing, Divorce - Italian Style doesn't carry nearly the punch in today's era of Britney Spears overnight annulments and weddings arranged on prime time TV.

		More than four-and-a-half years after Hen's Tooth Video first released it to DVD, director Pietro Germi's immortal 1961 Italian comedy, "Divorce Italian Style," gets a spruce-up from none other than Criterion.
		Some may well be asking, "What took so long?" though such really does shortchange the work that Hen's Tooth did by picking the film up in the first place, filling a void that may well have gone unfilled until now.
		Finally, there's an interview with screenwriter Ennio De Concini, screen-test footage of costars Stefania Sandrelli and Daniela Rocca and a sensational assortment of essays in the booklet, the best of which are reprints of "Idealist with No Illusions" by Andrew Sarris and "On Divorce Italian Style," by Martin Scorsese.
