This colorful movie is deeply linked to the place and time it has been shot: Italy, 1968. Every clichés that comes to your mind when you think about that period are largely displayed throughout the whole story. Maybe at the the time of its release it should be appeared as a political story, a work of art criticizing the hypocrisy of a crystallized society but today any kind of "revolutionary" meaning, even subtle, is definitely lost. In my opinion good premises are largely wasted and in result we have a movie with confused ideas and confused actors unable to focus their characters into something more definite. There are some minor nude scenes, too. An expedient to attract people I merely suggest. To me it's a 5 out of 10.

Commedia Sexy with Claudine AUGER and Lino CAPOLICCHIO
ZeddaZogenau20 February 2024
An Italian industrialist (Gabriele FERZETTI) is desperate: his son (Lino CAPOLICCHIO) has become a hippie. A psychologist (Claudine AUGER) is supposed to "reprogram" him. And she does a great job: soon she is the wife of the dilapidated heir to the company. But then the capitalist pig awakens in the son...
Biting satire from Italy that doesn't skimp on Sixties flair! First major role for Lino CAPOLICCHIO (1943-2022), who is best known from THE GARDEN OF THE FINZI-CONTINI. Bond girl (THUNDERBALL) Claudine AUGER (1941-2019) cuts a dazzling figure as always.
You can almost see it as a contemporary document of the '68 movement! And the music is by ACADEMY AWARD winner Ennio MORRICONE (he won the award in 2016 for THE HATEFUL EIGHT)!
