    Delicious!

    A gorgeous super-sexy Alexandra Stewart and Nino Manfredi in the first episode, which is not great. The second episode, with Walter Chiari and Dorian Gray, it's a delicious masterpiece. And the third episode, with the unparalleled Alberto Sordi, Sylva Koscina and Nicoletta Machiavelli in her best role, is also a success, yet another small masterpiece.
