Edwige Fenech heats up the classroom as a private tutor with one smitten, scheming student.
THE SCHOOL TEACHER
Franco tries to seduce his teacher by faking an attempted suicide.
Proof that passing your classes isn’t the only thing students were desperate for in '70s Italy.
Italian sex-comedy gets a lesson in mischief courtesy of Edwige Fenech, who turns academic desire into a farce of fake suicides, mistaken identities, and barely contained adolescent chaos. The only thing higher than Franco's grades is his infatuation—and his willingness to play dead for love.
