Featured review
Uneven Series of Sketches
I largely concur with Italian Gerry's previously posted user review except for me the standout sequence in this uneven series of sketches is the last one involving the two rival prostitutes.
It is the only one that takes place at night and DP Mario Bava, later to gain fame as a horror director, shows his penchant for visual texture here more than in the daylight episodes.
There is also a complex character study in the portrait of the two women who are at first irate with each other about competing for clients ,then bond together to help each other escape from rather determined police , finally land up at different parts of a beauty contest (one as a judge the other as a contestant) which puts them in an interesting position.
"Beauty Contest" is the gem that made acquiring the film worthwhile for me.
