This anthology comedy-satire takes aim at Italian attitudes towards marriage, divorce, and chastity … while also demolishing the church, the courts, the family, the police, and the state along its merry way. The first vignette follows a doctor who is always laughing; the second, a man and his mistress; and the third, a town that falls for a peasant girl.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
