When a desperate gambler bets it all on seduction, the stakes turn absurdly erotic.
POKER IN BED
A poker player on a losing streak meets a beautiful young woman. He's attracted to her, but she appears to be perfectly content with her boyfriend, a somewhat wussy writer. The gambler gets the idea that if he can get this woman into bed, it will change his luck at the gambling tables.
Poker in Bed is a 1974 Italian comedy film directed by Giuliano Carnimeo about a gambler who tries to seduce a young woman in hopes of improving his luck at the poker table.
The SassyFlix Take
Proof that sometimes your luck is only as good as your pickup lines.
Why Cult
Admire the legendary Edwige Fenech at her most inviting, anchoring the film with her comedic timing and screen presence.
Expect slapstick, sexual antics, and a brand of comic absurdity that only Italian filmmakers of the era could pull off.
Gambling meets erotic farce as a losing poker player thinks seduction might finally deal him a winning hand.
Tap your toes to the film’s cute, sexy theme song—one of the lighter pleasures in a film full of comic chaos.
Synopsis
Completely absurd from start to finish and filled with maniacally chattering women, sexual slapstick, and toilet humor, Poker in Bed will be too silly for most viewers, but will please admirers of Fenech (the cover image of her is as inviting as she ever looked) and that particular brand of comic idiocy of which only Italians are capable. Cute, sexy theme song, too.
