Lando Buzzanca as butler for certain hours
When it comes to a film from the 1970s with Lando Buzzanca in the lead role, you are of course dealing with an Italian COMMEDIA SEXY in which things are sometimes very raunchy. This film by Luigi Filippo D'Amico also offers a satirical overview of contemporary Italian history that is definitely worth seeing. The makers of the Venice Film Festival also recognized this when they included this film in the program in 2010 as part of a retrospective of Italian film comedies.
Rosario Cabaduni (Lando Buzzanca), called Sasa, actually only wants one thing in life: to be a proper and conscientious servant. During the final turmoil of the World War, he ends up with a Nazi general (Peplum star Gordon Mitchell) before returning to Italy to work with a director (Luciano Salce as a Dino De Laurentiis blend) and his exalted actress wife (gorgeous : Femi Benussi as a wonderful parody of Silvana Mangano!) to go into service. However, the sexually hungry women who demand his services not only at the table but also in bed always get in the way of the pretty Sasa. So it happens that the good guy has to change positions repeatedly. However, the submissive jack-of-all-trades cannot shake off his sexual attraction. So he has to accompany a noble employer in a wheelchair to the brothel, where he meets the pretty Rita (Martine Brochard). The next employers (Silvia Monti and Renzo Marignani) are secretly interested in their own gender as part of the sexual revolution...The best thing to try is to study! Of course, this leads to all sorts of complications, which escalate especially when the omnipotent Sasa wants to have fun with a communist-minded saleswoman (Erika Blanc). The next stop is tough: in the household of the super-rich building contractor (Arnoldo Foa) he meets the former prostitute Rita as his wife. To make matters worse, the love-hungry lady also has a pubescent daughter (Leonora Fani), whose extreme silver eyes can only be cured by Sasa's excessive stamina. But the building contractor also cast a benevolent eye on his perfectly formed butler. He uses it to bring various bribes to the ruling parties. Just like it was usual in Italy! Only in Italy? We don't want to delve deeper into this, as the story takes us to another station where Sasa is able to bring in his diverse talents...
This humorous sex comedy is one of the better performances by Lando Buzzanca, alongside THE EROTICIST / DER LANGE SCHWARZE MIT DEM SILBERBLICK by Lucio Fulci, but he always does a relatively good job. The beautiful actresses can also show off their skills here and are not just cast as erotic accessories (as is often the case).
Of course, a film of this kind is not for everyone, but you will definitely be entertained.
