Casanova '70 (1965)

£0.00

(Casanova 70)


Country: IT/FR
Technical: col 113m
Director: Mario Monicelli
Cast: Marcello Mastroianni, Virna Lisi, Marisa Mell, Michèle Mercier

Synopsis:

An officer working for the UN reaches a crisis in his secondary career as a Lothario when he realises he is unable to consummate without some impending threat to life or limb.

Review:

Frothy sex comedy, most of which is on the level of commedia dell' arte, with the star playing it very broad (no pun intended). A succession of wide-eyed sixties starlets sway their hips and cock their heads as he either fails or succeeds in mounting a successful assault before moving on, and the whole proceedings come nicely to a halt before a Meursault-like tribunal in which he is finally vindicated when it emerges that his psychoanalyst is a rabid homosexual (che peccato!) The sub-Morricone soundtrack does not help, but there are nice locations and the women are gorgeous, Mell in particular showing an unsuspected talent for comedy.
