Four cheeky tales of Italian marital misadventure, gender swaps, and steamy soccer hijinks.
LOVE IN 4 EASY LESSONS
Four stories focused on the fair sex, dealing with the most varied and improbable sentimental and non-sentimental situations.
Proof the Italians never needed more than ninety minutes to teach you everything (and nothing) about love.
Sergio Martino serves up a quartet of playful Italian sex-comedy vignettes, complete with jealous husbands, gender-bending footballers, and enough marital mishaps to keep even Ursula Andress and Barbara Bouchet on their toes. If you're seeking 1970s European cheek and comic chaos, this anthology delivers in spades.
