The Priest's Wife (Italian: La moglie del prete) is a 1970 Italian-French comedy film directed by Dino Risi. The film was shot in English with an eye toward international release but in the Italian tradition it was overdubbed in the studio.
The Priest's Wife was mildly scandalous when it was released in 1970. As Don Mario gives in to the obsessive pursuit of the beautiful Valeria (she chases him from Padua to the canals of Venice), he seeks advice from fellow priests, who suggest he quietly take a mistress and forget about marriage.
