Expectations have to be set properly for this movie. This is frankly a softcore movie with one very gorgeous leading woman, Vittoria Belvedere. The coupling scenes are good, the story wrapped around them, well I could have done without that.

The story - Luigi is floating along with his class equivelent fiance Marcella (also quite pretty). One day he sees his long lost "cousin" Sonia. She needs a place to stay and Luigi says sure, stay at my apartment. The next morning she brings breakfast on a tray into Luigi's bedroom, or oh darn a breast slips out of her shirt. The story just moves along from there with Sonia being this wild woman, willing to do all kinds of crazy sexual things. Sonia is very jealous and turns absolutely 100% completely insane near the end of the film (the kinkiness of the couplings gets farther and farther out there). The DVD cover art is from the very end of the film.

The filming - this is what is the worst of 1990's Italian cinema. The story line is very choppy, things just seem to happen for no reason. The colors lack saturation, the lighting is very flat. The focus is totally on the romantic moments between these two characters (those are well filmed).

Anyone that is still interested in this film, Sonia does take off her clothes a lot - she is gorgeous in them and out of them. There is no full frontal male nudity. All the sex is simulated. There's no foul language.

There is a particularly irritating thing about this DVD - the soundtrack is offered in dubbed English or Itlian; with no subtitles. The Italian actors and actresses have much more sensual voices in their mother tongue than in English.

Vittoria - she is gorgeous.

The ever surprising Italian film enthusiasts at MYA communications have unearthed a wonderfully erotic gem from director Sergio Martino. Just when you think its an erotic pot boiler, it slowly slides into Giallo territory with a tense climax. Quality is crystal clear in full screen format with English soundtrack. For fans who have never experienced the films of Sergio Martino, this is a good place to start.
