Boccaccio '70
The first 4-act motion picture ever presented!
A witty, episodic satire of sexual hypocrisy in 1960s Italy, blending romantic comedy with social commentary across four interconnected tales.
An anthology of four comic moral tales about the hypocrisies surrounding sex in 1960s Italy: frothy young love and office politics in the big city; milk advertisements that begin to haunt an aging prude; a trophy wife enduring her husband's very public affairs; a lucky ticket-holder at a small town fair.
