Review

An irreligious artist (Dado Crostarosa) falls hard for his chaste, god-fearing neighbor (Simonetta Stefanelli) in the satirical Italian comedy Non commettere atti impuri (1971). As the young woman begins warming up to the idea of a relationship, her domineering uncle puts the kibosh on the affair, leaving the young painter to lick his wounds and try to appease the old fuddy-duddy by converting to Catholicism. Director Giulio Petroni uses the proceedings to lampoon everything from Italy’s religious orthodoxy to the counterculture, while leading ladies Simonetta Stefanelli and Barbara Bouchet use their sensational curves to keep the plot from falling flat.
