''Blonde in Black Leather'' (original title: ''Qui Comincia l'Avventura'' - "Here Begins the Adventure") is a 1975 comedy film by Carlo di Palma, starring Monica Vitti and Claudia Cardinale.
The titular character (Vitti) is a seemingly independent and free-spirited woman who comes across a dissatisfied laundry worker (Cardinale), who yearns for her lifestyle and decides to run away with her. Vitti's character, claiming she's on a journey to save her lover, reluctantly agrees to let her come along on the condition that they separate in Naples.
'''Note''': Both main characters suffer from NoNameGiven, so for practicality's sake, they shall henceforth be referred to as Monica and Claudia. If the actresses need to be talked about, use their last names.

!!Provides examples of:
* AccidentalKidnapping: After losing the motorcycle, Monica and Claudia steal a car. They discover a little boy named Tex lying on the backseat, who wants to be kidnapped so he can get away from his family. They give him back anyway.
* BikerBabe: Monica ostensibly, but she loses the bike still in the first half of the movie.
* BrokenPedestal: Claudia starts out idolizing Monica, but becomes increasingly disillusioned with the chasm between Monica's tales of daring-do and reality.

* NaiveNewcomer: Claudia, but she gets over it fast, even if Monica doesn't think so.

* NotSoDifferent: [[spoiler:At the end, Claudia discovers that she and Monica have the exact same origins (working a dead-end job and being sexually harrassed by their bosses).]]
* RandomEventsPlot: Monica and Claudia get themselves in increasingly bizarre situations that have literally no bearing in the ultimate goal of their journey.
* RedOniBlueOni: The movie first pegs Claudia as the naive red oni and Monica as the cool and mature blue oni. As it goes on, it turns Claudia into a savvy and levelheaded blue oni and Monica into a constantly-on-the-verge-of-a-mental-breakdown red oni.
* {{Tsundere}}: Monica could give any anime tsundere a run for her money.
