I did end up picking this up, gave it a watch last week. More mildly amusing than laugh out loud funny, but the film is engaging and entertaining and the odd scene or two is pretty funny. Mastroianni is an unfortunate fellow who can only achieve sexual pleasure when an element of danger is involved. He relates his sad story to psychoanalylist Enrico Maria Salerno (who, in the funniest bit, admits he wears fishnet stockings!) as we see flashbacks to each episode. The longest and best story featured Marisa Mell - looking stunning as usual - as an unhappy wife who tries to trick Marcello into killing her deaf husband. But is he really deaf, and what if he has murderous plans of his own? Rosemary Dexter and Margaret Lee are sadly limited to brief but equally gorgeous appearances. Capped off with a nice Trovajoli score, I`d say this film is worth a look for fans of frothy 60s comedies but proceed with caution if you`re expecting anything more substantial.
