Bambina

y. 1974

description:
"When the ambitious skirt chaser Saverio (Luigi Proietti) meets serenely nymphomaniac retarded rich Clothilde (Teresa Ann Savoy), he finds he has met his match; he calms down and she wises up. After he has bedded the girls' mother and a housemaid, he tries to figure out how to make use of his connection with this wealthy family to get a large loan -- which he needs for a business deal. However, the lustful designs of the otherwise witless girl overwhelm his own scheming, and he runs off with her. It is not clear whether he has been manipulated into this by the girl's conniving mother Donna Raimonda (Irene Papas), or if he is simply succumbing to his own desires." (AMG)

White, Red, and...

d. Alberto Lattuada
c. Italy
y. 1972

description:
"This comic Italian melodrama recounts the story of a friendship which develops out of a romantic obsession. The Italian communist party was largely independent of the Eastern Bloc, and has played a large political role in that country, particularly on the local level. This story tells of Annibale Pezzi (Adriano Celentano), a hospital patient who is also the local communist party boss, and of Sister Germana (Sophia Loren), the nursing nun who is treating him. Annibale successfully invents one ailment after another in order to avoid having to leave the delightful ministrations of this special woman. Though she is at first antagonistic to him and his beliefs, their mutual respect grows until he is finally able to accept the idea of being discharged." (AMG)

She Wolf

c. Italy
y. 1952

description:
"La Lupa (The She-Devil) was filmmaker Alberto Lattuada's first film after his classic The Overcoat. Based on a short story by Giovanni Verga, the film stars Kerima as the title character. Aptly named, La Lupa is a predatory female who considers every man she meets a potential conquest. When it seems as though Manni (Ettore Manni) will slip through her clutches, La Lupa arranges for a marriage between Manni and her own daughter Marrichia (May Britt). Eventually she is thrown out of that household, but does this slow her down? Not when there's a whole village full of bachelors, ripe for plucking." (AMG)

The Overcoat

d. Alberto Lattuada
c. Italy
y. 1952

description:
"The classic Nicolas Gogal [Gogol?] fable The Overcoat is given a European flavor by Italian filmmaker Alberto Lattuada; some consider the film to be Lattuada's best "psychological study." Comedian Renato Rascel plays a nebbishy nobody who spends his life-savings on a fancy overcoat. Suddenly, the nobody becomes a somebody, proving beyond doubt that clothes make the man. And then one day, the overcoat is stolen...Fleshing out the short-but-bittersweet Gogol original are several colorful new characters, including a publicity-hungry small-town mayor, played by Giulio Stival. The background music was composed by director Lattuada's wife Felice. American prints of Il Cappato are missing a so-called "naughty" telephone exchange between the mayor and his silken mistress."
