The clip is from a longer 4 minute scene with no dialog set to the prelude to Verdi's La Traviata (had to look it up...). All body language. The full movie is on YouTube and the extended scene starts at 34:20:

(You could argue the scene starts even earlier, at 23 minutes in.)
I've seen three of Wertmüller's films. Mimi, Swept Away, and Seven Beauties. Of those, I enjoyed Mimi the most, but they were all worth seeing.
