Jin Ping Mei
The "poisoned page" motif may have been inspired by Alexandre Dumas' novel "La Reine Margot" (1845). It was also used in the film "Il giovedì" (1963) by Italian director Dino Risi. A similar story is associated with the Chinese erotic novel "Jin Ping Mei", translated as "The Golden Lotus" or "The Plum in the Golden Vase".
