Four beds, four disasters, zero dignity — 1960s Italian sex comedy chaos.
Four episodes: a traveler is enticed by train per bet; a professional wants to be alone with a woman he likes; a lawyer becomes the lover of an adversary; a man discovers his wife's infidelity after ten years.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This exemplifies the 'commedia sexy all'italiana' boom — post-economic-miracle Italy processing newfound leisure and moral anxiety through farce.
Director Steno (Stefano Vanzina) co-wrote Toto classics before pivoting to this commercially savvy but critically dismissed subgenre.
