Interesting facts
Satan's Wife is a 1979 Italian horror film directed by Pier Carpi.
Production
The film is an adaptation of the director's 1974 novel Un'ombra nell'ombra. It had the working title La signora delle mosche ('The Lady of the Flies'). Carpi's announced temptative cast included Jean Seberg, Terence Stamp, and Marilù Tolo.
The film had a troubled production, with shootings starting in January 1977, being interrupted after a few weeks for lack of funds, and resuming in early 1979, with producer Piero Amati replacing Carpi as director for several scenes. Amati went bankrupt shortly later.
It was one of several Italian films starring Anne Heywood.
