!!Tropes:
* AdaptationalAlternateEnding: The ending is funnier and more uplifting than in ''Film/EightWomen''. [[spoiler:Caterina reveals that she helped Marcello fake his death and then he kills himself, same as the original, but instead of closing on them mourning, we get a scene where they alert the police, Agostina flirts with an inspector, and Margherita scolds Caterina for concocting the scheme with her father, telling her that women need to stick together. Nobody seems to be at all shocked or traumatized by what happened. Then they all talk about the possibility of living together in the house. End movie.]]
* AdaptationalNameChange: Some of the names are simply the Italian versions of the original French names; Suzon becomes Susanna, Catherine becomes Caterina, Augustine becomes Agostina and Marcel becomes Marcello. The rest of them, however, are truly different:
** Gaby becomes Margherita.
** Pierrette becomes Veronica.
** Mamy becomes Rachele.
** The film's equivalent of both Chanel and Louise is named Esposito Maria Concetta.
** Jacques Farnoux becomes Giannutri.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Susanna comes across as more cowardly and less sweet-natured than Suzon.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Pierrette had an affair with Chanel in the French movie, while Louise was interested in Gaby. Maria (Chanel and Louise's equivalent) shows no evidence of interest in Veronica or Margherita whatsoever.
* AdaptationSequence: The film is an Italian remake of a French 2002 movie, which in turn was an adaptation of a 1958 play by Robert Thomas.
* CompositeCharacter: Why it's ''7 Women'' instead of ''8 Women''. The cook Chanel and the chambermaid Louise were combined into one single maid character, Maria. She has Chanel's levelheadedness, and it's revealed she slept with her boss Marcello, like Louise did with Marcel.
* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: Pierrette was Marcel's sister in the original. Veronica is instead an old lover of Marcello's.
