Tigers In Lipstick 1979 - Letti selvaggi (Italy), a.k.a. -

Camas calientes
Tigers in Lipstick (USA)
Wild Beds

Luigi Zampa (director); Tonino Guerra and Giorgio Salvioni (writers); with Monica Vitti, Sylvia Kristel, Ursula Andress, Orazio Orlando, Michele Placido, José Sacristán (I), Roberto Benigni, Enrico Beruschi and José Luis López [comedy; film in episodes].

Four of Europe's most famous sex symbols star in seven different and racy vignettes. The lovely women provide the viewer with both comedy and sizzling sensuality.

The vignettes portray various questionable exploits headed by women with minds of their own. Antonelli, for example, plays a dynamic businesswoman who picks up a young orchestra conductor and both yearn to spend some quality time together - but to no avail. As the patient conductor follows her around like a footnote on a text, she continues to finish up dealings with other businessmen, lawyers, and various agents while her romantic interlude seems to be left cooling on the back burner somewhere.

***

4 attrici per 8 episodi, 2 a testa. U. Andress: "La vedova" (con M. Placido), "La passante"; L. Antonelli: "Un pomeriggio noiosetto", "Una donna d'affari"; S. Kristel: "L'arabo" (con O. Orlando), "La moglie giovane" (con E. Beruschi); M. Vitti: "Una mamma" (con R. Benigni), "Attenzione a quei due" (con M. Placido).
Livello medio-basso di commedia all'italiana ormai lontana dai fasti degli anni '60. Diverte l'incontro tra Benigni preside e la Vitti, battona che si finge madre di un ragazzo discolo.
