Boccaccio 70 / Carlo Ponti presenta ; Concordia Compagnia Cinematografica.
Four satires on morality, prudery, and hypocrisy. Monicelli's "Renzo e Luciana" is a frothy tale of young love and office politics in the big city. Fellini's notorious "Le tentazioni del dottor Antonio" features Ekberg as a busty model in a milk advertisement whose image begins to haunt an aging prude. Visconti's "Il Lavoro" stars Romy Schneider as a trophy wife enduring her husband's very public affairs, and De Sica's "La Riffa" raffles off a night with Sophia Loren to a lucky ticket holder during a small town fair.
