La locandiera (also known as Mirandolina) is a 1980 Italian comedy film directed by Paolo Cavara, based on the Carlo Goldoni's three-act comedy The Mistress of the Inn.^[1][2]

Plot[]

The innkeeper Mirandolina is a beautiful girl, and for her beauty the count of Alba Fiorita and the marquis of Forlimpopoli fall in love with her.

The two nobles give her rich gifts, trying to ingratiate and marry her, but the cunning Mirandolina accepts only her money and jewels, without giving them her hand. A third man arrives on the scene: the Cavaliere di Ripafratta, extremely misogynist, who thinks that women bring only trouble to men.

Mirandolina, who has never seen a man like this, takes him as a challenge to herself and does everything to make him fall in love. She succeeds in his purpose of her and in revenge leads him to admit in public that he has fallen in love with a woman.

Eventually the beautiful Mirandolina realizes she loves Fabrizio, her waiter, and she abandons her art of "falling in love with men" to remain faithful only to him.
