That title means 40 degrees in the shade of the sheet but you may know this Sergio Martino-directed. movie better as Sex With a Smile. In the U.S., all of those ads focused on Marty Feldman, who briefly shows up in one of the film’s five chapters. It’s American distributor Centaur/Surrogate even cut all of the credits and just have Feldman’s name in them along with changing the order of the stories.

“One for the Money” takes place in Switzerland as a rich Italian bride (Barbara Bouchet) meets a man (Enrico Montesano) who offers her 20 million lire (around $4.5 million dollars in 2023 U.S. cash) to make love. She blows him off but then starts to wonder “What if?”

“The Bodyguard” concerns a socialite (Dayle Haddon, who went from Disney movies like The World’s Greatest Athlete to movies like this and Just Jaeckin’s Madame Claude and The Last Romantic Lover) who hates how well her bodyguard (Feldman) keeps her secure. And then when she tries to escape him to met a new lover, she learns that maybe he was right to do his job so perfectly.

“Catch It While It’s Hot” is about a countess (Giovanna Ralli, What Have They Done to Your Daughters?) hooking up with her chauffeur (Alberto Lionello), while “Dream Girl” finds Edwige Fenech being so ravenous that she intrudes on the dreams of her neighbor (Tomas Milian), which he actually complains about. Come on, dude.

Finally, “A Dog’s Day” has a man save a woman (Sydne Rome, The Pumaman) from jumping off the ledge outside his apartment. They make a date and that’s when he meets her very jealous dog.

Martino’s sex comedies basically have the most attractive women ever dealing with men who look like buffoons. But I mean, would I fair any different upon trying to speak to Edwie Fenech or Barbara Bouchet? Also: Look for an appearance by Salvatore Baccaro, who played The Beast In Heat.

There’s also a sequel to this, Spogliamoci così, senza pudor, if you enjoy Italian sex comedies. In the same year that Martino made this, he also directed the poliziotteschi movies Gambling City and Silent Action as well as the giallo The Suspicious Death of a Minor. Few directors could hit so many genres with so much success.
