Trivia
Elena Fiore's butt in the famous betrayal scene is not hers but that of a stand-in. Wertmuller herself declared this in one of her memoirs: the actress had a butt that was too small.

You Will Laugh Very Hard When the Fat Lady Sings - The Seduction of Mimi

Mimi is not a woman; it is the nickname of the main character. If there is a funnier actor than Giancarlo Giannini in the last 50 years, I have not seen one. He is ten times funnier and more believable than Roberto Benigni of Life is Beautiful, the highly overrated film that won Benigni best actor and Best Foreign Film in 1998. There are a half dozen Giannini films that are better, and this is one of them. Mariangela Melato is supurb is this film and every film she was ever in with Gianinni. The plot is silly; but it doesnt matter; its the MOVIE that counts and makes you laugh your ass off. Anyone who does not laugh at the fat lady sequence is definitely disturbed. Enjoy this and all the Wertmueller satires.
