Review of Valentina ...The Virgin Wife

I thought I'd take a look at the kinds of film Edwige Fenech was making outside of the giallo genre, and this one's a good example. It's a character-based sex comedy in which four separate people struggle to cope with various sex-related issues in their lives. On the one hand, Ray Lovelock and Fenech play a married couple who can't consummate due to his delicate problems, while Carroll Baker implausibly plays Fenech's mother. Meanwhile, a lengthy sub-plot involves this hairy uncle guy who finds himself pursued by a string of beautiful women. Lots of nudity, inevitably, but the humour is in short supply here.
