A visual feast for fans who are hungry for some Edwige!

The version of La Pretora that I bought did not offer English audio or subtitles, but that was only a small disappointment. The other reviewers have more than adequately described the plot, so on to the important stuff - the skin! (Does anyone actually buy or rent an Edwige Fenech movie, or any of the similar Italian-made "Sexy Comedy" films for that matter, for the writing & the acting?)

I have seen about 8-9 of Ms. Fenech's movies & this incredibly beautiful actress had more quality nude scenes in this film than in any of her other titles that I have viewed to date. As opposed to many of her other films in which she has only 1-2 brief topless scenes, this title provides the viewer with a copious amount of lengthy & well-lit nude scenes (including abundant FFN) in order to sate the voracious appetites of Edwige's legion of fans.
