Roamin' Holiday
Let's Talk About Women is a comedy about nine Italian men. All of them are played by Vittorio Gassman (The Easy Life), an actor of great charm and almost inexhaustible versatility, who seems determined to prove that the legendary Latin lover is really just a big blob of mozzarella. In his fall collection of heavy breathers, the evidence sure is persuasive.
Gassman's Roman rakes include: 1) a dolt who goes home with a prostitute and finds that she is married to an old school chum; 2) a sodden playboy whose haymate, ample Antonella Lualdi, tumbles out of bed just in time to get dressed for her wedding; 3) an impatient Lothario who checks into a motel and seduces the chambermaid while his peevish girl friend waits in the car; 4) a barkeep who saves carfare by hitching a ride home every night with a car-couching whore, hops out at his front door feeling cheap but chaste; 5) a ragman who waxes indignant when an elegant lady clad in a filmy black negligee ("Are you in mourning?") calls him up five flights, all for sex. This last fellow cooperates, naturally, but goes away grumbling over the time he has wasted. So will the audience.
