Storyline

Luisa De Dominicus is a Milanese piano teacher who moves to Lucca to be with the man she loves: Ferdinando 'Bonci' Marinotti, a city councilman campaigning for mayor on a platform of moral values. She is of the belief that Fernando is single, living with his ailing mother. This, of course, is far from the case.

The boys living in her apartment building mistakenly believe Luisa is a call-girl who uses piano teaching as a cover for her true profession, and word soon spreads among the building's dirty old men. The resourceful boys drill a well-concealed hole in the wall between Signorina Luisa's flat and the bedroom of the landlord's son, Marcello Busatti, allowing them a spectacular view of their spectacular neighbor.

Marcello quickly becomes infatuated with Luisa, but is also conflicted regarding her supposed profession. Eventually Luisa learns of Fernando's philandering nature, and after a vigorous misunderstanding, satisfies Marcello's unrequited lust/love.

User Reviews

Poor farce

One of the worst, but probably more typical example of the late

Italian erotic comedies of the Seventies, which anticipate the

American college and T&A movies of the early Eighties. This one stars the beautiful Edwige Fenech - probably the better

actress and the most beautiful of the several starlets that have

made this kind of movies in the period - as a music teacher, a

piano player, involved in a farsesque relationship with an aspiring

mayor of an Italian small town, Renzo Montagnani (a very good

actor that was wasted in such abysmal roles), but who becomes

the attraction of the house she has rent, before falling for the young

son of the housekeeper. Fenech shows her breasts several times and she is involved even

in a couple of showers (a requisite of this kind of movies), but the

story sucks from start to finish and the jokes are so bad that they

hurt. For Fenech's fans only (and they will get eyeful of their favorite)
