Tony Curtis plays TWINS in a horny 70s sex farce that somehow exists.
While hiding from the royal authorities, Giacomo Casanova, the famous romancer, encounters his look-alike: Giacomino, a fugitive petty con man. Meanwhile, the Arabian Caliph and his wife are arriving in Venice for a state visit, and she insists on a night with the legendary lover. Through a series of erotic encounters and mistaken-identity comedies, Giacomo and Giacomino make their way back to Venice for their appointment with the Caliph's wife.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was one of three Casanova films Tony Curtis made in the 1970s, essentially typecasting himself as Hollywood's horniest twin.
Franz Antel was a Austrian director who spent the 70s churning out sex comedies that walked the line between mainstream and softcore — this was actually one of his more 'prestigious' casts.
