La locandiera (also known as Mirandolina) is a 1980 Italian comedy film directed by Paolo Cavara, based on the Carlo Goldoni's three-act comedy The Mistress of the Inn.[1][2]

Plot

The innkeeper Mirandolina is a beautiful girl, and for her beauty the Count of Albafiorita (Conte di Albafiorita) and the Marquis of Forlimpopoli (Marchese di Forlimpopoli) fall in love. The two noble customers bestow rich gifts to her, trying to ingratiate and to marry her, but the crafty Mirandolina only accepts the money and jewels, leaving them with an inch of them nose. A third man arrives on the scene: the Knight of Ripafratta (Cavaliere di Ripafratta) extremely misogynist, who thinks that the woman bears only man trouble. Mirandolina, who has never seen a man like that, tries to do it on purpose and the knight manages to fall in love with her.
