Il DVD pubblicato nella collana Il Cinema Segreto Italiano per l'etichetta RaroVideo ha una durata dichiarata di 105 minuti. This is the third Lisa Gastoni "mignotta-movie" (to borrow a phrase from Italian Euro-Cult authority Marco Giusti) I've watched – after THANK YOU AUNT (1968) and Fernando Di Leo's SEDUCTION (1973) – in which a middle-aged woman is seduced by a much younger man. There is no nudity below the waste though sex is implied and shown facing the male on top of an obvious stand in.Tutto si svolge sotto gli occhi di Simona la quale, scoperto che il padre s'è ucciso con un colpo di fucile, afferra una pistola ed entra nella camera da letto sparando alla madre e al suo occasionale amante; dopodiché libera Federico con cui si incammina, tenendolo per mano, all'esterno della villa, fantasticando su progetti futuri; dopo avere fatto entrare Federico in una grande voliera, Simona spara anche a lui e prosegue da sola lasciandosi alle spalle il cadavere.

There's not a real point to the film as such and it's more of a character study with the character's decisions providing the main points of interest.

just quite a lot of bad taste (where everything feminine is supposed to be whorish and arouse the bestiality of men) and lots of bad intentions. While the central premise of a girl hiding and aiding a fugitive is reminiscent of WHISTLE DOWN THE WIND (1961) and THE SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE (1973), the action set-piece around the mid-point – where a band of villagers break into Ferrer's house with the intention of smoking the rapist out – is straight out of Sam Peckinpah's STRAW DOGS (1971). it would only hold interest to those who have a Lolita-fetish, or collectors of hard-to-find movies. pages Booklet with an Essay by Udo Rotenberg in German and english filled with international promo material and fotos. This film is not comfortable viewing, as it raises many issues about the family, and their willingness to expose each other to danger in their enjoyment of their veniality.

Die Mutter findet den Mann und beginnt mit ihm eine Liebesbeziehung, nutzt ihn aber aus, um ihren Mann zu ermorden. It's familiar giallo or poliziotteschi territory; miserable, upper-middle class people with the life sucked out of them wander around their sterile luxury. year-old Simona (Karin Trentephol) offers refuge to injured fugitive Federico (Howard Ross), who is on the run from police and accused of murder. The director was interested in making a thriller - this aspect of the film is emphasized by the gangsters and the policeman who are out to get the child molester.Intanto Federico, dopo avere promesso a Simona che fuggirà solo con lei, si avvicina a Vera, già pronta per una delle sue uscite serali, e la conduce in una stanza della villa; tra i due si consuma un rapporto carnale spiato da Simona dal buco della serratura; durante il confronto che avviene la sera stessa tra Vera e Simona, quest'ultima le rinfaccia la sua avidità e le rivela di essersi concessa a Federico. in brief, a escaped killer (supposedly child killer) befriends a young girl of roughly 12 years of age. The conversations between the small girl and her father in which they refer to nature and animals offers some clues to the films themes. There is only one reason why anyone would want to watch the tedious trudge through depravity that is "L'immoralita", and that's for perverts who want to see if a grown man really does get it on with an 11 year old girl during its run- time.

Still the sex scene between the girl and the killer may certainly upset some viewers,albeit the girl is clearly replaced by an older body-double. Lisa Gastoni (at 43) is still a sensual and attractive woman and has her hair dyed reddish blonde here, but this proved to be the last of several roles in a similar mode – to which I alluded above and of which I wouldn't mind catching Jerzy Kawalerowicz's MADDALENA (1971) and Giulio Petroni's LABBRE DI LURIDO BLU (1975); in fact, she went into a long period of retirement right after this one before re-emerging two years ago.

When the child's mother, Vera (Lisa Gastoni), discovers Federico, she attempts to seduce him, hoping he will help her murder her wheelchair-bound husband.
