Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This belongs to Italy's 'comédie à l'italienne' wave — genre-mashing social critiques that Hollywood wouldn't touch. The title parodies official government euphemisms for sex work.
Giancarlo Giannini made this the same year as 'The Seduction of Mimi' — he was cornering the market on tortured Italian masculinity. The 3.0 TMDB rating reflects four voters, not quality. Probably.
