Madame Bovary (Italian: I peccati di Madame Bovary, German: Die nackte Bovary) is a 1969 Italian-West German historical drama film directed by Hans Schott-Schöbinger and starring Edwige Fenech, Gerhard Riedmann and Franco Ressel.[1] It is based on Gustave Flaubert's 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.
