'Doctor'
Jayne Mansfield is in Italy to present her research dealing with mating
customs from around the world to a renowned psychologist. But her biggest
problem is dealing with the raging lust brewing inside two very horny
bellhops.
The
film is divided into two scenarios. First (written by the comedy team
of Ciccio and Franco) is the story of buxom Jayne being ogled, stalked
and preyed upon by these two bellhops who are clearly an over-the-top
European version of Martin and Lewis. In the other part, penned by director
Luigi Scattini, Jayne is an anthropologist who presents her research
to a respected professor. This narrative is punctuated by surprisingly
explicit mondo footage (two people making love in a rice field, an adulteress
in China assaulted by an egg throwing husband, a bloody cockfight, the
slaughter of a pig, snake and crocodile, etc). Seemingly, director
Scattini can't help himself; he loves the shockumentary stuff. In fact,
some of this footage is recycled from his Sexy Magico released
the previous year. After this film, Luigi would continue making mondo
documentaries (including the International hit SWEDEN
HEAVEN OR HELL). A bit later in his career, he helmed a quirky
actioner with Annie Belle and Pamela Grier, NIGHT
OF THE HIGH TIDE. Mr Scattini died from natural causes in 2010
at age 83.
Reportedly,
this was a difficult shoot caused by too many chefs. Everybody seemed
to have a different ideas of how the film should be handled (further
complicated by producer Pietro Paolo Giordani's management contract
with the Franchi and Ingrassia team). As a result there was a considerable
amount of 'down-time' when the project was put on hold. During such
a hiatus, Mickey Hargitay was approached to star in a separate movie.
He took a week and made THE
CRIMSON EXECUTIONER [Bloody Pit of Horror], Interestingly, that
film has stood the test of time more than this one with a bigger budget.
