A preoccupation with female nudity may make this seem like a typical lightweight Italian sex comedy of the 70s, but under the surface there is more going on than you expect. The sane characters are quite nuanced and manage to strike up some interesting discussions. The story is based on the award-winning novel by ex-psychiatrist Mario Tobino and contains an autobiographical element which lends honesty and depth to a slightly barmy scenario. A multi-faceted film which rewards further viewings.
