AU PAIR GIRL

1976 · 1h 22m · R · Comedy · IMDB TMDB

Domenica Schlutzer is a young innocent girl who works as an au pair in a large house with a fair diversity of inhabitants. However, they all have one thing in common: they would like to end up in bed at Domenica. They are therefore frantically trying to achieve this. This creates comic entanglements, because Domenica doesn't notice anything.

Vault Note

Proof that in 1970s Italy, even the au pair gig came with a side of farce and innuendo.

Programmer's Pick

Gloria Guida stars as the blissfully naïve Domenica, dropped into a den of scheming tenants and libidinous landlords. If you think you’ve seen every Italian sex comedy cliché, this film lines them up and lets them trip over each other in pursuit of its unflappable heroine. Nobody does oblivious better than Guida, and nobody does lecherous like 1970s Italian cinema.

Synopsis

Guida plays an incredibly stupid "au pair girl" (as opposed to an au pair guy?)who, after losing her virginity in a train tunnel(you don't wanna know, believe me), comes to work for a greedy couple who make money by renting her out to all the other tenants in their building--a hooker, a lesbian, an in-hock father and his sexy gold-digging daughter, a closeted-gay politician, a dying old man, and pretty much every other Italian sex comedy cliché imaginable.

Ensemble Cast Mayhem

Comic Misunderstandings
