Reviewers barked that this erstwhile sex satire attempted (unsuccessfully) to emulate the fervid taboo-breaking style of Pedro Almodóvar, but they may have been disappointed because of their fondness for the director's comedy commentary on Italian television, none of which appears in this film, the first for director Roberto D'Agostino. In the story, four young women, all of them with some connection to the entertainment industry, are attempting or being made to attempt to sleep their way to improved career opportunities. Pretty Alessia's mother and aunt are stage-struck and have shoved her into a sexual relationship with a producer, hoping that he will cast her in something, it doesn't matter what. Well-endowed Stefania has previously starred in soft-porn films and is scheming to get a role in a film which doesn't revolve around her having simulated sex all the time: the filmmaker she is wooing generally makes cheesy "B"-grade action films. Amalia is a star in the daytime soaps but she thinks the Chief Executive for the network she works for might be persuaded to have her cast in a more prestigious evening show if she puts the make on him. Even Beatrice, who appears to be free from such ambitions, has a plan and a man. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

Dario (Diego Abantantuono) is a psychologist who is in no hurry to marry his schoolteacher paramour Maria (Lina Sastri) in this romantic comedy. He meets an old friend who married Dario's former sweetheart Anna (Monica Guerritore), and with a picture of his wife and mistress in his hand, the man drops dead.

Set in the 16th century, this bawdy comedy is erotic without pornographic detail as two women and one man enjoy a wild and lusty relationship. Angela (Laura Antonelli) is widowed and one day, as she gazes out her window, she is stirred by the sight of a dashing blond foreigner (Jason Connery, son of Sean). She eventually sends her ladies' maid to speak to him as a go-between, while the ladies' maid of the married woman next door is on the same errand. It seems the foreigner is more interested in Angela's neighbor but has no compunction about making love to both women. The dashing young man is soon literally dashing from one woman to the next in a mixed-up confusion, not wanting to give himself away as romancing two women instead of one. Meanwhile, the ladies' maids (and others) enter into the act, while the married woman's husband is due home at any time. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

This softcore film features a depressed, pessimistic brother (Lorenzo Lena) who spends his days watching TV and looking at porno magazines, a fashion-designer sister (Monica Guerritore) with a boyfriend and her own sexual hang-ups, and incest. The brother likes to photograph his sister, hence the title of this standard, stock-in-trade, sexploitation film. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

The time is the mid-14th century --- the Pope is now residing at Avignon, the Black Death is killing millions across Europe, and civil wars are adding to the turmoil and chaos. In this story adapted from Giovanni Boccaccio's Decameron, a young teenage couple is sent to live in a nearby town by the man's uncle, in an attempt to keep them safe from harm. She is from the lower classes, and he comes from a noble family -- a family that opposes his choice of a future bride. While en route to the town, the couple's horses are stolen and they are forced to continue through the forest on foot -- at a pace that introduces them to a kaleidoscope of Boccaccio's characters, from masters of mysticism, to soldiers of the warring Papal armies. Somehow, the couple manage to get through this gauntlet of sorts, and they do marry. Just as they are ready to go back to Rome (where they came from), they hear that there is an insurrection in the offing, and suddenly, their brief spate of stability is threatened again. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

When she suddenly decides to leave the relationship, it comes as a shock to him, and he desperately wants to know the reason. After a series of reconciliations and separations, he finally finds out and briefly has another apparently blissful relationship with Silva (Monica Guerritore). ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

Teenaged boys fantasize about having sex with women in this Italian sex comedy, and they often succeed. Sandro (Alessandro Momo) takes his father's housekeeper to bed not long before she becomes his step-mother. As a temporary lifeguard at the beach, he courts the large coterie of sex-starved wives left at the beach for the summer by their hard-working husbands who only visit them on weekends. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
