Boccaccio '70

1962 · 204 min

A witty, stylish tour of 1960s Italian morals, mixing satire, fantasy, and romance with a light but sharp touch.

Tagline: The first 4-act motion picture ever presented!
Overview: 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.
