so sweet, so perverse (1969)

aka Così dolce... così perversa.
"You are not jealous, you are just bitchy."
Jean (Jean-Louis Trintignant) and Danielle (Erika Blanc) are a rich couple suffering marital problems, with both having affairs. When an American woman moves into the upstairs apartment, he is instantly attracted to her. So when he hears her screaming one day, he immediately investigates. There he finds Nicole (Carroll Baker), scared of her boyfriend Klaus (Horst Frank), and the couple soon begin an affair, but all is not what it seems.
An Italian take on 'Diaboliques', that proves entertaining, but not much more.
