Madame Bovary is a 1969 Italian-West German historical erotic drama film directed by Hans Schott-Schöbinger and starring Edwige Fenech, Gerhard Riedmann, and Franco Ressel.
It is based on Gustave Flaubert's 1857 novel Madame Bovary, although the film cuts out the book's portrayal of her early life and focuses more heavily on her sexual relationships.
The film follows the story of Emma Bovary, the wife of a provincial doctor in 19th century France, who harbors ambitions to rise in the world but finds herself in a compromising situation following a string of love affairs.
The film was produced by Roger Fritz, Harald A. Hoeller, Luciano Martino, and Alfredo Mirabile. It was distributed by Alpha Film.
Madame Bovary (1969) is considered an Italian-West German co-production. It was released in Italy under the titles *Madame Bovary* and *I peccati di Madame Bovary*, while the German title was *Die nackte Bovary*.
