Quick Answer

What is Ubalda, All Naked and Warm about?

Ubalda, All Naked and Warm is a 1972 Italian comedy film directed by Mariano Laurenti about bumbling knights, unfaithful spouses, and the farcical quest for chastity belt keys in the Middle Ages.

Programmer's Pick

Nothing says ‘medieval marital discord’ like a slapstick chase for chastity belt keys. Edwige Fenech lights up the screen in this gleefully raunchy Italian farce, where fidelity is a punchline and the armor is strictly optional.

Overview

Set in the ribald heart of the Middle Ages, Ubalda, All Naked and Warm follows the misadventures of awkward knight Olimpio as he returns home to his alluring wife Ubalda, played by Edwige Fenech. Ubalda’s beauty has not gone unnoticed during his absence, and while she’s locked into a chastity belt, she’s determined to get her hands on the key. The couple’s equally lustful neighbors face similar predicaments, leading to an escalating arms race of slapstick schemes and risqué antics. Italian sex comedy collides with medieval hijinks as jealous husbands and scheming wives tangle in increasingly absurd attempts to protect — or breach — each other's marital “property.”
