La lupa (also known as She-Wolf, The Vixen and The Devil Is a Woman) is a 1953 Italian drama film directed by Alberto Lattuada. It is based on the novella with the same name by Giovanni Verga. In a remote village in southern Italy, La Lupa ("The She-Wolf"), a beautiful and lascivious woman, fascinates and attracts men, young and old, who can't resist her. However, she develops an obsession with Nanni, a farm hand who grows olive trees and wants to marry her teenage daughter, Maricchia. At her mother's urging, Maricchia marries Nanni. But "the She-Wolf" still lurks around the latter, to Maricchia's despair. Unable to resist and overwhelmed, Nanni resolves to kill his mother-in-law. It should also be noted that Giovanni Verga later made a theatrical adaptation (1896) - one of the plays was directed by Franco Zeffirelli with Anna Magnani and Lucia Bosé in 1965 - and then a libretto. For a musical melodrama, in collaboration with De Robertis, composed by Giacomo Puccini and then G.-A. Tasca and represented in 1933.
