Micitype Pretty Good

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

peterosenau What a great concept: Take 4 of the most popular European actresses of the Seventies and pop them into a Italian- style comedy that takes place mostly in bed. Unfortunately, „Letti selvaggi" is another one of those anthology comedies with eight separate episodes. It goes without saying that the quality ranges from terrible to okay. You'll get Sylvia Kristel, Ursula Andress, Monica Vitti and Laura Antonelli for two episodes each.The movie starts off with Sylvia Kristel, playing a seemingly bored girl in a flat on the beach. She lures in a mobile trader who thinks she wants to have sex with him, but there is actually a body she must get rid off and the guy is just her scapegoat. Sylvia Kristel was hot and sexy in the Emmanuelle films, but she definitely was no good actress. Her wooden play is painfully obvious here, and it's up to co-star Orazio Orlando to save this quite promising episode that in the end suffers from bad writing and bad acting.Next up, Ursula Andress as a grieving widow, visited by a journalist. He can convince her to pose for some pictures which then evolves into a whole striptease. No fun here, no gags, no surprises, no twist, nothing. A waste of time.Next. A (weirdly dubbed) kid asks hooker Monica Vitti to act as his mother and bring him to school. She agrees, but in the principal's office she must find out that the kid is a terrible pupil. What an awful episode! Vitti is actually a good actress, so is Roberto Benigni, but there is no way they could save this pointless nonsense.Then Laura Antonelli as the beautiful wife of a distrustful old jerk. It's only about two minutes long and the less said about it, the better.Back to Kristel, playing the wife of a nutty professor who is constantly quarreling about her lack of quality as a cook and in bed. Kristel's acting is even worse than before. But it fits this horrible ordeal of an episode.Then Andress in a very short one: To boost business of a garage, she'll strip in lingerie on the nearby street, causing a huge pile-up. Watchable, but also forgettable.The second Vitti outing is surprisingly good and while the storyline is ridiculous, it is also high-paced and more or less entertaining. Vitti as a jewel thief who is after an invaluable necklace. She doesn't know yet that another crook is already close on her heels. Vitti and Co-Star Michele Placido harmonize quite well and the episode definitely benefits of the two.Then we have the final episode with Laura Antonelli, and they saved the best for last. In fact, this one even saves the neck of the whole movie. A shy orchestra conductor meets a beautiful woman on the street and to his surprise, she agrees to dating and shows up at his home a little later. While there is something going on between the two, this Giovanna is a pure businesswoman and she has calls and meetings one by one. Not much time for a romance, and actually Giovanna is more in need of a servant than a lover. The story then shows the two constantly rushing around while trying to make out in some two-minutes-slots. This is quite funny, at a very high pace and with good actors. Jose Sacristan is a nice guy and quite likable, but it's of course the fantastic Laura Antonelli who makes this worth watching. Once more she proves her talent for comedy, she is bursting with energy, as always pleasing to the eye, and there are a couple of lingerie scenes thrown in.Overall, it's hard to rate these anthology comedies as impartially as possible, but I doubt this could have appealed to audiences back in the day. Especially the first episodes are just awful and I know dozens of Italian comedies of the Seventies outclassing this totally. Best thing to do is probably to skip all this rubbish and go for the last two episodes only. To those I would give 5 and 6 stars, if watched separately.

gridoon2018 8 comic sketches set in Italy, with 4 of the most famous European sex symbols of the 70's playing 2 roles each: in the 1st sketch, Kristel lures an unsuspecting man into her room, but what is her real purpose? In the 2nd, Vitti agrees to pose as the mother of a kid going to take his school report; in the 3rd, Andress is the widow of a politician, and a photographer ends up taking more shots of her than his job requires; in the 4th, Antonelli has a rather drastic way of dealing with her husband's jealousy; in the 5th, Kristel also has a drastic way of dealing with her husband's dullness; in the 6th, Vitti is a thief who steals a necklace, then has it stolen from her and tries to get it back; in the 7th, Andress flashes her underwear in the middle of the street and causes traffic accidents, then she gets paid by the owners of auto-repair shops for the all the smashed cars she brings them! And in the 8th, a timid orchestra conductor finds the courage to flirt with Antonelli on the street; to his surprise she responds and agrees to meet him later, but their promised lovemaking keeps getting interrupted by her various business activities.None of the sketches here will receive any awards for comic brilliance, some of them (most notably the 2nd and 3rd) seem completely pointless and some (most notably the 4th and the 7th) are too short to amount to anything more than a single joke. As others have said, the best (and funniest) sketch is clearly the last one, which really does have a sense of comic absurdity, and Laura Antonelli is so incredibly DESIRABLE that it makes sense for this man to give up his daily routine and just follow her around when she asks him to. All the women look great (Vitti is sexy even as a completely covered-up nun!), but there is a big disappointment in the 3rd sketch: Ursula Andress does a lot of provocative posing for the photographer, yet director Luigi Zampa refuses to move his camera closer to her, filming the whole sequence from a long distance. Boo! (**1/2)

suisse_nut There are no Oscar winning performances in this one, however, it's not too bad. If you're looking for plot, pass. If you're looking for beautiful women showing skin, watch it.Ursula Andress, as always, looks absolutely gorgeous.

benignifan I bought this movie just because it had my favorite actor Roberto Benigni...and it took me a while just to find out who he was!!! Otherwise, the movie is a dubbed joke--hilariously bad. It's very funny to watch if you like that B movie appeal. Poor Roberto!!! He's sooooooooooooo much better than this trash!!!
