Divorce Italian Style

Stefania Sandrelli had problems crying in the scene where Marcello Mastroianni got spat on by Carmelo Patanè's wife for being a cuckold. After many wasted takes and a prompt by an onlooker, director Pietro Germi--with an unlit half cigar in his mouth--got up from his chair, walked over to her and gave her two good slaps. Sandrelli was embarrassed because she had been slapped in front of hundreds of people and really did start crying, and the the scene was finally shot.

When Ferdinando gets in bed with Rosalia after their fight, Rosalia's head facings change significantly between shots.
