The mind plays tricks, 18 July 2009
7/10
Author: yorimevets-2 from United States

I saw this in an open air theater in Greece, with Greek subtitles. I could have sworn I heard it in English, but now, I'm watching it again in Italian with English subtitles. Weird!

I remember Maria Rosa french kissed the fish head at the dinner, but that didn't make it into this cut. The air-raid siren orgasms and the general nuttiness have never been outdone in the history of bizarre relationships. A hysterical pregnancy is involved, too!

Maria Rosa is a beautiful-looking woman who manages to ensnare the hapless office drone -- Alfredo. He's afraid of commitment and convinces himself that he had dumped the girls who bailed out on him. Perhaps this film did more to lower the rate of Italian population growth than any other factor. It's a strange triumph of feminism where a dominating, manipulative woman can get control of a gelded man, and cut him from all other relationships -- even Oreste his best friend. This might be what happens when a man marries for looks. He falls for a beautiful body, but makes the mistake of marrying the whole crazy bitch. He should have settled for the plain Gianna, a sturdy Catholic girl who could balance a checkbook.
