El oficio más viejo del mundo

Six rather tepid episodes in the history of prostitution, from prehistoric times (not featuring Raquel Welch) to The Gay 1890s (featuring Raquel Welch). French-Italian-West German co-production (in French with subtitles) was helmed by six different directors: Claude Autant-Lara, Mauro Bolognini, Philippe de Broc, Franco Indovina, Michael Pfleghar, and Jean-Luc Godard (who directed the "Anticipation - Love in the Year 2000" segment). A bit more levity and spice might have helped; this seems awfully tame for 1967. Welch's sassy installment involving the bedding of an elderly banker is the liveliest of the lot. *1/2 from ****
