The Magnificent Cuckold Limited Edition

£17.99

Released: 17th August 2026. A happily married businessman (Ugo Tognazzi, Weak Spot) succumbs to the advances of one of his less square, more open-minded female friends. His eyes now open to the rampant adultery among his high-society acquaintances, he is amazed at the ease with which they lie to their loved ones. Soon, he begins to suspect his loving wife (Claudia Cardinale, Girl with a Suitcase) of infidelity – even as she guesses nothing of his own extramarital affair. Antonio Pietrangeli’s luscious adaptation of Fernand Crommelynck’s tale of obsession and delusion skewers the changing mores and tenacious prejudices of 1960s Italian society with style. As the troubled husband’s paranoia takes him ever further away from reality, his fantasies come to life in sumptuous dream sequences, each one a dashing tribute to the radiant charm of Claudia Cardinale. BLU-RAY LIMITED EDITION SPECIAL FEATURES 4K restoration of the film from the original camera negative by the Cineteca di Bologna in collaboration with Compass Film and Studio Cine Uncompressed mono PCM audio New interview with Italian film expert Richard Dyer (2026)  New visual essay by Italian cinema professor Rémi Fournier Lanzoni (2026)  Alternative colour sequences Newly improved English subtitle translation Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Time Tomorrow Limited edition booklet featuring new writing by film critic Phuong Le and archival writing Limited edition of 3000 copies, presented in full-height Scanavo packaging with removable OBI strip leaving packaging free of certificates and markings
