Army officer Andrea is dealing with a strange case of impotence: his libido only gets aroused by near-death experiences. He fears his vice will lead to an early grave, so he attempts to live as a celibate with the virginal beauty Gigliola, but he is only delaying his descent back into sin.
Underrated Italian comedy master Mario Monicelli (Big Deal on Madonna Street) and ultimate beleaguered playboy Marcello Mastroianni (La Dolce Vita) joined forces for this bouncy satire of the male libido—an Oscar nominee for Best Screenplay. Bonus: the classic 60s opening credits!
