Duck in Orange Sauce (Italian: L'anatra all'arancia) is a 1975 Italian comedy film directed by Luciano Salce from a screenplay by Bernardino Zapponi, based on the 1968 play The Secretary Bird by William Douglas-Home (adapted in French by Marc-Gilbert Sauvajon). For this film, Monica Vitti was awarded with a David di Donatello for Best Actress and with a Silver Ribbon in the same category.[1] The film is named for the culinary dish duck à l'orange.
