Storyline
In London, the Venetian Carla Borin is searching an apartment to share with her beloved boyfriend Matteo. She meets the lesbian real estate agent Moira and rents a large apartment. When the jealous Matteo finds some pictures and letters from her former lover Bernard in Venice, he hangs up the phone and the upset and amoral Carla has a brief affair with Moira and intercourse with an acquaintance in a party. When Matteo comes to London, he concludes that his lust for Carla is more important than his jealousy and her behavior. Written by

Bright, cheery, pretty and very sexy with super outfits lots of nudity including many a very real looking prosthetic penis. There may be some silly seriousness here with the Italian title being a play on words with transgression and betrayal and references within the film suggesting female unfaithfulness is a good quality. All very well I suppose if you are big fat and rich with a penchant for watching your girl with someone else, eh Mr Brass? Nevertheless I loved it and it's settings of Venice and London although actually in reality this seemed all shot on a set apart from outdoor scenes in a London park. Well paced, well shot and surprisingly well dubbed. The Ukrainian leading lady a sheer delight although if we are talking bottoms here, and we are for a lot of the film, I would not have thought hers her best asset. Probably the best of Tinto Brass's such outings.
