The Ape Woman is the highest-praised film by 'La Grande Bouffe' director Marco Ferreri. From a real story - à la 'Elephant Man' - of the exploitation of a young woman whose body was completely covered in hair. A hustler marries her to cash in on her appearance. This version features both the director's sombre ending and the longer, 'happy-ending', nominated for the Cannes Festival Palme D'Or.
