About This Movie

So, 'Sex with a Smile' is this collection of five comic sketches, all touching on Italian sexual humor but each standing on its own. Sergio Martino directs with an unmistakable flair for the absurd, blending slapstick and innuendo in a way that feels uniquely Italian. The pacing is brisk, which keeps the laughs coming, although some sketches hit and some miss. The atmosphere is light and cheeky, perfect for a casual watch. You get a sense of the era's playful attitude towards sex, wrapped in colorful sets and the typical over-the-top performances you'd expect from 70s comedies. It's not a tightly woven narrative, but rather a playful romp that showcases its time and culture well.

Released in Italy, original title: 'Sesso con un Sorriso'Features various actors, including the recognizable Edwige Fenech.Noteworthy for its campy practical effects and vibrant cinematography.Part of the Italian sex comedy wave of the mid-1970s.
