The SassyFlix Take
Proof that Italian marriage counseling in the '70s often involved a bathtub, a lover, and a lot of peeking.
Why Cult
See the queen of Italian sex comedies, Edwige Fenech, plotting saucy revenge and commanding every scene as the irresistible Gioia.
From full frontal nudity to steamy bathtub encounters, the film packs in all the hallmarks of erotic 1970s farce without restraint.
With Luciano Martino at the helm, expect a screwball blend of slapstick, satire, and risqué set pieces that define Italian bedroom comedies.
A jilted wife, philandering husband, and handsome accomplice set the stage for a rollicking comedy of infidelity and comeuppance.
