Why Cult
See American bombshell Jayne Mansfield tackle the role of a documentary-presenting 'doctor' caught in Italian comedic crossfire.
Italian comedy duo Franco Franchi and Ciccio Ingrassia bring their signature slapstick energy to the role of amorous bellhops.
The film playfully riffs on the documentary format, spoofing mating customs from around the world with tongue firmly in cheek.
Blending exploitation, comedy, and wild pseudo-anthropology, this is a prime slice of Italian psychotronic cinema.
