Luigi Zampa's last film was released at a time when the Commedia all'italiana was on its last legs. In the spirit of commedia sexy, the episodic comedy is to be revitalised with four star actresses who dominate the battle of the sexes in every respect: Sylvia Kristel, Monica Vitti, Ursula Andress and Laura Antonelli each appear twice, with Michele Placido and Roberto Benigni among others. Changes of tone are part of the programme and part of the fun. The sketches range from lightning miniatures to witty short films such as the finale, in which a shy conductor wants to spend intimate hours with a businesswoman (Antonelli), but is thwarted by her hectic professional life. After sharpening his critical ambitions in dark thrillers, Zampa bids a relaxed farewell with this amusing series of episodes - a kind of satyr play in eight versions. (Christoph Huber)
