If You Were My Wife I'd Shoot Myself
THE STORY: IF YOU WERE MY WIFE I’D SHOOT MYSELF, is set in a bar in Rome. A young American actress, Marinella, solicits the help of the bartender, Antonio, in composing a letter to her idol, the famous Italian stage and film director, Franco Zefferelli, who, she hopes, will give her a role in his next project. Cynical and world-weary, Antonio is, at first, impatient with Marinella’s histrionics and apparent flightiness, but gradually, as confidences are exchanged, a bridge of understanding—and compassion—is created between these two very different people.
