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. 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.
