SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

lazarillo The portmanteau Eurpean/Italian comedies of the 1960's like "Boccacio '70" and " Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow" made a brief comeback in the 1970's with films like "Sex with a Smile" and "Tigers in Lipstick". This film is probably the most like the earlier films, however, because it actually uses different directors for the different episodes. Unfortunately, as is often the case, this leads to the different stories varying greatly in quality. Sergio Martino directs the first episode, "Saturday" featuring Lino Banfi (who else?)as a put-upon employee who has to put off his weekend getaway with his annoying fiancée to meet a visiting Japanese architect. He doesn't mind so much though when the "Japanese architect" turns out to be Edwige Fenech! (Fenech MIGHT have been remotely believable as a Japanese woman if they'd kept her voluptuous boobs and butt under wraps, but where's the fun in that?). This episode has subplots involving a cremation and accidental cannibalism, and it ends with everybody kung-fu fighting. But perhaps the most remarkable thing about it is that Banfi (one of the most unattractive men in the world) actually gets the gorgeous Fenech at the end (although mercifully their romantic consummation occurs offscreen).In the next story "Sunday" directed by Pasquale Campanile Festa, Michele Placido has his Sunday rest ruined by his upstairs neighbor's (Barbara Bouchet) suicide attempt. He ends up posing as her husband when her strict parents visit because her actual boyfriend is already married. He doesn't end up getting much sleep, but he is duly rewarded in her end, I mean, in the end. Neither of these first two tales feature the talented comedy directors Martino and Festa at their best, but they are fairly respectable efforts (at least, if you can get by the typically horrid English dubbing).Fenech and Bouchet both have only brief nude scenes (at least for them), but the last story "Friday" which features the entire cast of showgirls from infamous Paris "Crazy Horse Showclub" makes up for any lack of skin. Unfortunately, this story, directed by hacks Castellano and Pipolo, is otherwise completely worthless. It is about the pimp/manager of a nudie dance troupe going to great lengths to stop one of his prima donna dancers from marrying a gangster. It winds up being a very sorry end to the whole thing and lamely attempts to tie the three random stories together.This has its moments (all in the first two stories), but it is a pretty uneven effort over all.

gridoon Three comic skits set in Milan. The first is lame, worth seeing only for a few glimpses of Edwige Fenech's body (I doubt that many Japanese women - she plays one here - wear what she wears after taking a shower). The second is the best: Michele Placido is by far the best comic actor in the film - he doesn't push for laughs, so he gets some. The third is pointless, and unfortunately the longest; an example of its idea of humor is the overdrawn homosexual caricature of Celentano's right-hand man.Final recommendation: fast-forward through the first skit to get to the "good" Fenech bits, watch the second in its entirety and skip the third altogether. (**)

Il_Koreano It's a good and bad movies. It's divided in three part: "Sabato" (with Lino Banfi), "Domenica" (with Michele Placido) and "Venerdì" (with Adriano Celentano).SABATO (first episode): A company receives the visit of a very very important person. This person works for a biggest Japanese society, and this encounter is decisive for the small Italian company. And the head of this sends for encounter this one of the more lazy-bones of the society (Lino Banfi). But when this understand that is a woman...!Vote for the actor/actress: 5/6 (Banfi is good) Vote for director: 5 (classic) Vote for writer: 4/5 (classic) Final Vote: 5/6 (Good, but it could be made more)DOMENICA (second episode): After a hard day of job, a man (a young Michele Placido) it returns in it's house for sleep. But a series of facts hinder this, and the poor man does not succeed to sleep.Vote for the actor/actress: 6 (Placido and the rest of the cast are very good) Vote for director: 5 (classic) Vote for writer: 5 (classic) Final Vote: 6 (Very good)VENERDI (third episode): A famous and rich creator of sexy ballets (Adriano Celentano), have various problem with a dancer. She want to go far away the theater box and to marry a man of the Mafia. Costantine will make all for rescue the girl from the dangerous man.Vote for the actor/actress: 4/5 (Celentano is hateful!!!) Vote for director: 5 (classic) Vote for writer: 4 (stupid!) Final Vote: 4 (Sorry, but it could be made more)
