Movie review - "The Virgin Wife" (1975) *1/2

Italian sex comedy, also known as La Moglie Vergine, which I only watched because Carroll Baker has a small role. She's the mother of a newly wed whose husband is yet to deflower her due to his impotence. If you find impotence hilarious then this is the movie for you.

There's some sexy women, who are frequently bending over showing off their backsides, and some fat comic actors. Most of the action seems dominated by Mr Impotent's lecherous uncle who manhandles a whole bunch of women - apparently this is considered hilarious.

There's a quite hot final sequence where the bride and groom are caught in a rainstorm with different people - a stud for her, and the bride's mother (Baker) for him - and both get to have sex. The groom apparently has a mother complex which is why his equipment works with her. So she suggests they move in. It's light and energetic and a film very much of it's country and time.
