Madame Bovary (Italian: I peccati di Madame Bovary (The Sins of Madame Bovary), German: Die nackte Bovary, Play the Game or Leave the Bed) is a 1969 Italian-West German historical erotic drama film directed by and starring Edwige Fenech, Gerhard Riedmann and Franco Ressel.[1] It is based on Gustave Flaubert's 1857 novel Madame Bovary, although the film cuts out the book's portrayal of her early life and focuses more heavily on her sexual relationships.
In nineteenth century France a provincial Doctor's wife harbours ambitions to rise in the world, but finds herself in a compromising situation following a string of love affairs.
