(1954), Adriana Lecouvreur (1955), Le Dritte/Smart Girls (1958), L'Avventura (1960), La Notte (1960), Eclipse (1962), Three Fables of Love (1963), The Red Desert (1964), Four Kinds of Love (1965), Modesty Blaise (1966), The Chastity Belt (1967), The Girl with a Pistol (1968), Jealousy, Italian Style (1970), Teresa the Thief (1972), The Phantom of Liberty (1974), Mimi Bluette (1976), My Loves (1978), An Almost Perfect Affair (1979), The Mystery of Oberwald (1980), Flirt (1983), Francesca and Me (1986) and Secret Scandal (1989), her last.
