Four beds, four disasters, one very Italian sex comedy.
A movie divided in four episodes: the arrival of the husband makes the loves of his wife to hide in the next room; an husband invites a friend while his wife is not at home; a poor man dreams about having an adventure with a beautiful girl; an impoverished nobleman wins at gambling after taking the earring of the wife of a factory owner.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Mino Guerrini was a journalist before directing, which explains the episodic structure—four scoops, one movie.
This arrived right as commedia all'italica was pivoting from neorealism to bedroom farce; the factory owner subplot barely hides its class anxiety.
