NEW YORK — The simultaneous benefit opening of
“Boccaccio ’70” and New York’s newest theatre, the Cinema I-Cinema II, raised
more than $6,000 for the Riverdale Mental Health Ass’n and the William Alanson
White Institute Monday (25) night. A capacity audience of 1,000 celebrities and
guests attended the event.
The occasion
marked the American premiere of the picture, released in the U.S. by Embassy
Pictures, and preceded the Tuesday (26) opening to the public.
Embassy ran
the largest single advertisement ever used for a motion picture in the amusement
section of the New York Times on Sunday preceding the opening, with three
consecutive full pages, giving equal attention to the film’s three directors,
Federico Fellini, Luchino Visconti and Vittorio De Sica, and its three stars,
Sophia Loren, Anita Ekberg and Romy Schneider. The film is a Carlo Ponti
production.
The Times ad
is a feature of what Embassy termed the largest advertising campaign ever given
a motion picture playing an east side or art theatre in New York City.

With three top
glamour stars. Academy Award-winning Sophia Loren, Anita Ekberg and Romy
Schneider from Germany, in sex episodes directed by Italy's three top
directors, Vittorio De Sica, Federico Fellini and Luchino Visconti, this Carlo
Ponti production in lush Eastman Color can't miss as an art house attraction in
key cities everywhere. Because the picture explores various aspects of sex as
they might be written by Boccaccio in 1970, this is strictly adult fare — and
should be advertised as such.
Of the three
unrelated segments, the De Sica episode, "The Lottery,'' is the most
earthy and amusing and gives the luscious Loren the opportunity to flaunt her
charms as the prize in a carnival, lottery who fails in love with a handsome
youth, but is forced to accommodate the latest raffle winner, a shy sexton.
The opening
episode, “The Temptation of Dr. Antonio," brilliantly directed by Fellini,
is completely fanciful as it details the frantic efforts of a prudish crusader
to have a huge billboard emblazoning Miss Ekberg's attributes removed from
public gaze. In his hallucinations, Anita comes to 50-foot life and taunts him
until he is forced to slay her — the police finally carry him off to an asylum. Both the voluptuous Miss Ekberg and
Peppino De Filippo are excellent.
The middle episode,
which director Visconti permits to ramble on far too long, is "The
Job," the story of a lovely countess whose husband has become involved in
a call girl scandal. She decides to become a "working" wife and make
her husband pay big money for her favors. Miss Schneider is beautiful, reveals
her charms in a bathroom bit and contributes the film's only touching moments.
The episode should be drastically cut to eliminate talky moments between the
count's quarreling lawyers.
The 'picture has far, far too many titles, enough to
make some patrons' eyes tired. It can best be described as a burlesque show—
for sophisticated audiences.

What’s
the verdict?
Boccaccio
wrote 600 years ago, but the Italians still have their minds on the same topic
— you know what.
Three
top directors toss off three stories in effective style (and a total of 165

Anita
Ekberg in a bawdy fantasy,
Romy
Schneider in a wry drama,
Sophia
Loren (the best) in a rowdy comedy
[ Στην ιταλική
(εγχώρια) κυκλοφορία της ταινίας περιλαμβάνεται και τέταρτο επεισόδιο με
σκηνοθέτη τον Mario
Monicelli και
πρωταγωνίστρια την Marisa
Solinas.
Στις εκδόσεις του εξωτερικού, πιθανότατα λόγω μεγάλης διάρκειας της ταινίας,
αυτό το αρχικό επεισόδιο της ταινίας κόπηκε. Έτσι η ταινία στις εκδόσεις της για
το εξωτερικό είχε μόνον τρία επεισόδια.
( Στο διαδίκτυο η
ταινία παρουσιάζεται ολόκληρη και με τα 4 επεισόδια.) ]
