Plot

Mary (Redgrave) is a disillusioned English banker’s wife who meets a troubled Italian immigrant, Bruno (Nero).[1] Mary is captivated by Bruno and they set off on a voyage together. In the course of their voyage, they meet a series of society's dropouts; the unemployed, drug addicts, drag queens, alcoholics and anarchists. They both learn a great deal about life from these misfits.[2]

Production

Carlo Ponti had originally agreed to produce the film but when he pulled out, Brass, Nero and Redgrave decided to cover the production costs themselves. Subsequently shooting commenced on 1 June 1970.[2]
