"Love Me, Baby, Love Me" tells a rather tired story about the wife who wants to remain faithful to the husband who is always away on business and then becoming the target of playboy whose business it is to lure women into his bed and then provide the husband's lawyer with incriminating photographs. Anna Moffo is the star. I am unfamiliar at this time with some of her career, but she has an aura of "goodness" about her even though she succumbs to the creep, but then she falls for him, and when the husband returns, after Moffo turns him down for sex claiming unexplainable illness including a suicide attempt, he begins to explore their children's nanny. Although Anna Moffo sings the song "One Shining Moment" in the film, the film's real star is the imitable director, Michele Lupo ("Master Stroke" and "Ben and Charlie") whose style generally makes the film work despite it being so run-of-the-mill. As is from 1970, perhaps the sex scenes were more of a rage then, but, as seen in 2017, they are nothing exceptional especially since then hunks weren't a necessity. It is questionable if Lupo's style of juxtapositioning camera angles artfully has been copied, but he does it with real power. Gianni Macchia is an irritating and smarmy lover and Jean Claudio plays the husband. The film also has Beryl Cunningham as a jet set hanger-on doing wild dances. The film seems to offer more by its anonymity and its advertising makes one curious, and the film is quite good despite it being unintentionally banal. In color.
