Giovanni (Johnny Dorelli) has inherited a castle from his uncle Ubezio and this will help him escape all his many creditors as a company already wants to buy it for a luxury hotel. The problem? The nurse who took care of his uncle, Marta (Gloria Guida, La casa stregata), has been given a percentage of the property. He works on talking her out of her share so that he can sell, but falls in love. There’s also the problem of the randy ghost of his ancestor Guiscardo (also played by Dorelli) who has had sex and has stayed in the castle for three centuries. And oh yeah — the buyer of the castle? His wife Nicole (Lia Tanzi) is Giovanni’s latest girlfriend.
Directed by Giorgio Capitani and written by Franco Marotta and Laura Toscano, this feels a lot like the other sexy haunted house movies of this time, C’è un fantasma nel mio letto and La casa stregata. There’s also some funny — and sexy — moments with Lory Del Santo (The Great Alligator) as a sex worker hired to relieve the ghost of his virginal burden.
