As a cult favorite, actress Edwige Fenech has numerous movie moments that are ingrained into the minds of many Italian men who came of age in the 1970’s. Yet there is one particular moment, running topless in slow-motion through a field of flowers, that is probably more memorable then the rest. Many words come to mind when trying to describe this scene: Crude. Low-brow. Gratuitous. All of these are excellent adjectives to use when trying to sum up 1973’s Ubalda, All Naked and Warm.

Although not a for everyone, Ubalda is perfect for fans who wish to delve more deeply into the overlooked cult titles of Italy’s yesteryear.
