fact - her brother. This turn-of-the-century sex-farce then finds her

called away to serve in the Libyan War. Eugenia finds sexual satisfaction
with the family chauffeur.
Director
Luigi Comencini was best known for the Bette Davis oddity SCOPONE
GAME. He was a traditional Italian director who enjoyed making
movies that 'expelled the scent of the people.' He was considered one
of that country's master filmmakers, starting his long career with the
documentary La Novelletta in 1939. Mr Comencini died in April
2007 at age 90.
The great Laura Antonelli is also gone. She passed away June 2015 after
a heart attack. Ms Antonelli was 73. She is probably best known for
her controversial role in Massimo Dallamano's VENUS
IN FURS.
