This is a pretty sexy, but incredibly slow-moving giallo from director Mario Imperioli. The lead actress Antonia Muraglia is positively stunning with a voluptuous, all-natural body, and she spends most of her screen-time in a bikini(or partially naked). The cinematography is beautiful and the music is interesting (although I believe Imperioli also used at least one of these songs in his other giallo "Snapshot of Crime"). The downside of this movie though is it is SLOW. There's a risk that you could be run over a glacier while watching it.

The plot is rather unfocused, but it's the story of a nymphomaniac model (Muraglia) with a somewhat older businessman husband (Silvano Tranquili). Although he is aware of his wife's many, many infidelities, it is unclear for a LONG time whether he is actually jealous of them or turned on (or perhaps both?---it's hard to tell). At any rate, it's a good hour into the movie before any drama actually begins to occur.

The actors are certainly better than in Imperioli's follow-up "Snapshot". Silvano Tranquilini has been great in stuff like "Smile Before Death", and one of the wife's lovers is the ill-fated German actor Peter Lee Lawrence who had some good roles (usually as villains and anti-heroes)in spaghetti westerns and Italian crime thrillers. Imperioli is most well-known for a couple movies he made with 70's Italian sex kitten Gloria Guida, and if SHE had shown up at some point for a lesbian scene with Muraglia I might possibly have been able to stay awake long enough to watch this in one sitting. As it is though, it's not so much a bad movie as it is a completely suspenseless one. I'd compare it to the director's own "Snapshot", the Haydee Politoff-Beba Loncar giallo "Interrabang", or the similarly sexy but dull "Your Hands on my Body". I wouldn't NOT recommend this, but definitely don't watch it while operating heavy machinery. . .

A successful businessman, Paolo, has a beautiful wife named Simona whom he profoundly loves in his own way. But he isn't and can't be happy because Simona is the nymphomaniac who is busy with extramarital intercourse, and Paolo sometimes dreams of killing her. And now a young man named Marco interferes their (or better to say, his) married life, and the three cumulatively begin to think how to eliminate one's own obstacle... This is rather small-scaled but unique Giallo film. It is unique mainly because its leading figure is a nymphomaniac whom Antonella Murgia characteristically plays. And the most impressive element this film has is nothing but the Giorgio Gaslini's unforgettable music which adequately expresses the sexual tensions between the heroine and her men, and beautifully colours and heightens the film's psychological dimension. Overall, this film is neither particularly excellent nor violent but still above-average Giallo which has the uniqueness, and seems to be suitable at least for the die-hard Giallo lover like me.
