The Virtuous Bigamist (French: Sous le ciel de Provence, Italian: Era di venerdì 17) is a 1956 French-Italian comedy drama film directed by Mario Soldati. It is a remake of Alessandro Blasetti's Four Steps in the Clouds.

Synopsis

Paul Verdier est un modeste représentant en chocolaterie qui n'a pas trouvé en son épouse la femme idéale. Acariâtre, en permanence de mauvaise humeur et menant la maison et les affaires à la baguette, Juliette a pourtant trouvé en Paul le mari idéal, aimable, fidèle et travailleur. Puis, le hasard va le mettre, au cours de ses tournées, dans une situation plutôt équivoque : une jeune inconnue va lui demander de se faire passer pour son mari afin qu'elle puisse en toute quiétude regagner sa ferme natale. Le timide représentant, d'abord surpris, finit par consentir. D'abord, tout se passe à merveille, un grand repas a lieu, les voisins et le curé accourent. Le lendemain après que Paul ait dormi seul dans la grange la supercherie est découverte, mais le pardon arrive vite. Paul gardera le souvenir de sa bonne action et de la tendre Marie.

During the Italian Risorgimento (mid-nineteenth century), in Austrian-occupied Lombardy, Franco Maironi (Massimo Serato), a young man of noble descent, decides to marry Luisa (Alida Valli), a humble clerk's daughter, against his grandmother, the Marquess Orsola Maironi's wishes. The old lady makes the life of the newly married couple miserable (she destroys the will which would grant Franco his wealth, and causes Luisa's uncle to lose his job, as he was helping them). In the meantime, Luisa gives birth to little Maria. Franco is forced to go to Turin in search of a job. During his absence, a terrible tragedy upsets Luisa's life: her daughter drowns in Lake of Lugano and the woman is driven to the brink of madness. Franco returns home for a short time but Luisa reacts coldly towards him. During the Second Italian War of Independence Franco becomes a volunteer soldier in the fight against Austrian and again meets his wife by Lake Maggiore. Despite Luisa's coldness, Franco is sure she still loves him. Aware that he might die in the war, he makes love to her one last time, leaving her pregnant.
