Plot

A modest Neapolitan man discovers a hairy woman, Maria, in a nunnery and exhibits her, then marries her.

Sinekatalog’s take

Marco Ferreri's Italian comedy-drama, La donna scimmia, with Ugo Tognazzi and Annie Girardot, is dark, cruel and sad, a satire on exploitation and marriage.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
