Alfonso Brescia, born in 1930 in Rome, Italy, was a prolific director and writer known for his contributions to cult cinema. He directed Revolt of the Praetorians (1964) early in his career, showcasing his knack for blending genres. Brescia's work in the 1970s, particularly with Sweet Teen (1976) and Loves, Bed and Betrayals (1976), highlighted his ability to navigate erotic thrillers and exploitation films. His later film, Beast in Space (1980), exemplifies his imaginative storytelling, cementing his legacy in the realm of low-budget genre filmmaking.
Sweet Teen
This movie is about a middle-age businessman who marries a much younger woman (former Miss Italy Daniela Giordano), but is carrying on with his sexy secretary (Dagmar Lassander). He somehow still has the energy, however, to lust after his wife’s visiting niece (Viviano), although that’s perhaps not surprising as she constantly lolls around in a short mini-skirt with her panties in full display or lies naked in bed playing with her puss (I’m talking about her cat–get your mind out of the gutter!). In the funniest scene she gets alarmed by a noise and insists on sleeping in the same bed with her “uncle”. The man eventually hatches a hare-brained scheme to pay another man, a handsome butcher, to seduce his wife so he can file for divorce and be with the niece. But, of course, it all goes horribly, horribly wrong.
