Casanova 70 (1965)

A NATO officer (Marcello Mastroianni) can only get sexually aroused when he is in a dangerous situation. Like sex in public or when a husband might be home any minute. This sexual peccadillo will eventually see him in a courtroom charged with murder! Directed by Mario Monicelli (BIG DEAL ON MADONNA STREET), this chaotic (and I don't mean that in a good way) comedy inexplicably received an Oscar nomination for its screenplay. It's a slight sex comedy, very much of its day and the movie's depiction of the film's women as sex objects doesn't play well today. More to the point, it's not very funny. The movie only comes to life toward the end of the film when Mastroianni gets involved with the wife (Marisa Mell) of a deaf count (Marco Ferreri) and they plot to murder him. Fortunately, Mastroianni remains of the screen's most expert comedic actors and his presence smooths out some of the movie's rougher spots. With Virna Lisi, Michele Mercier, Enrico Maria Salerno and Rosemary Dexter.
