Synopsis:

Dino Risi directed this bittersweet comedy about a 45-year-old man, Francesco Vincenzini (Vittorio Gassman), who becomes a grandfather for the first time and begins to fret about old age. When his son is rejected by the flirtatious Carolina (Ann-Margaret) and tries to kill himself, Francesco pays Carolina a visit to lambaste her for her treatment of his son. Carolina responds to his tongue-lashing by seducing him. Feeling young again, he plunges whole hog into an affair with Carolina, rejecting his job and his family and devoting all his attention to her. Finally, Carolina demands that he abandon his family and take off to Paris with her. While on the train to meet Carolina, Francesco has to decide whether he is using his best judgment leaving his family for Carolina.

Good looking and successful, Francesco Vincenzini suddenly becomes aware of middle age when his first grandchild is born, and he grows discontented. When his son attempts suicide after a broken love affair, Francesco visits his son's mistress, Carolina (the gorgeous Ann-Margret), to berate her. Instead, he too falls under her seductive spell and, infatuated, falls passionately in love with her. In this lust-fuelled game of cat-and-mouse, Carolina pulls the shots: but is she a tiger or a pussycat?
