Inspector Philippe (Roland Carey) and his wife Marie (Laura Levi) spend
their vacation in a hunting lodge in the country, staying at the room
where the lodge's owner's (Guia Lauri Filzi) wife was killed 15 years
ago - which at least in the movies is never a good omen to begin
with, and neither is Philippe's obsession with the one and a half decades
old crime. Marie in the meantime shows much more interest in another guest
of the hotel, Gaston (Paolo Gramignano), who's vacationing with his
widowed aunt Blanche (Pauline Teutscher) and cousin Francoise. To get it
on with Gaston, Marie does her best to exploit Philippe's instincts as a
detective, so she makes up pretense after pretense to send Philippe out
investigating at night just to have sex with her new lover. It's not that
Philippe hasn't got the occasional bit of sex with random acquaintances
during his investigations though ... Then though Gaston starts shagging
his own aunt Blanche ... and then cousing Francoise as well. Auntie
Blanche doesn't take lightly to it when she catches them. But then the
widowed hotel owner offers her comfort. And in the end, even Philippe has
found his way back into his wife's bed ... A shell-shocked World War II
veteran serves as running gag - but in the end gets to have abit of fun as
well, then loses his mind and forces everybody to have anb orgy at
gunpoint. And for those who prefer their sex homosexual, there are even a
couple of gay sex scenes in here. A hardcore porn comedy, and
as far as sex comedies from the early eighties are concerened, this one is
... well, pretty ok, I guess, at least some of the jokes are working and
the overall-tone of the film is light enough to give the humour a chance
to develop. Furthermore, sex is the actual engine of this film, so the
(many) fuck scenes don't seem to be tagged onto an unrelated storyline.
That said though, the film's directorial effort is rather impersonal, even
bland, and as far as the girls go - well, they are pretty enough if you
can look beyond their early 1980's-style hairdos, outfits and makeups ...
but that's at times pretty hard. And I could really have done without the
gay sex scenes - and don't get me wrong, I'm all for gays having sex, and
filming it too if they want to, I just don't want to see it, least of all
in heterosexual porn ...
