The notorious lover Giacomo Casanova bumps into his doppelganger, a con-man
named Giacomino. In reality, age is beginning to catch up with Casanova.
His anatomy is not cooperating with his reputation; yet his look-alike
has no trouble getting and maintaining an erection. He's just not interested.
Meanwhile, an Arabian King and his wife are in Venice for an oil deal
and - as part of the negotiations - she insists on a night with the legendary
Italian lover.
This
sleazy European sex comedy was quite an eye-opener for Tony Curtis fans
who were used to his mainstream Hollywood fare. It's directed [in English]
by Austrian filmmaker Franz Antel who used the pseudonym Francois Legrand
mostly for his later sex stuff. He also won numerous awards for arthouse
films [i.e., the anti-Nazi black comedy Der Bockerer
(The Butcher) series]. Mr Antel died of natural causes at 94, August 2007.
Besides
the involvement of Tony Curtis, the film is known for the strong cast
of Euro starlets which includes Swedish-born Britt Ekland [ex-wife of
Pete Sellers and star of DEMON
RAGE, PERCY
and Andrea Bianchi's YOUR
NAKED PRESENCE], Marisa Mell [Spanish siren of DANGER
DIABOLIK, MISS
DYNAMITE, Lucio Fulci's PERVERSION
STORY, plus many more], Sylvia Koscina [the Italian bombshell
who splashed on the scene in 1958 with HERCULES,
best known for LISA
AND THE DEVIL, DRACULA
IN THE PROVINCES and Jess Franco's JUSTINE],
Olivia Pascal [popular German cutie from the sketch TV show BANANAS,
and movies SUMMER
NIGHT FEVER, POPCORN
AND ICE CREAM, JOY
OF FLYING, et al],
