Atraco a sexo armado (1980)

A rather tedious softcore comedy hinging on a caper plot: a Swiss bank employee named Hans (Paolo de Manincor of La parte più appetitosa del maschio) and his wife Gretel (Anna Castells), both of them gay, send three women to seduce the key personnel of the bank headquarters in order to obtain copies of the various safety box keys for purposes of theft. This starting point provides the framework for the prerequisite grind-and-groan that leads to an admittedly unusual ending with some room for sick humour along the way: a momma’s boy, whilst engaged in sexual intercourse with one of the three seductresses, suddenly witnesses his mother’s death from an electric shock in a scene played for laughs.  There’s an unexpected dose of frontal male nudity, most notably when Emilio Higuera and Rosa Mora, both stark naked, engage themselves in horseplay on the snow, at which moment most viewers are likely to trade what interest they may have in the characters for a dismayed concern regarding the actors themselves. Although made by Prozesa and another Spanish company in collaboration one Italian outfit, the quota of Italians, down to the director, is very high indeed. The Spanish contingent is represented by the Aragonese Rosa Mora, one María Julia (or perhaps Juliá), who slightly resembles Illeana Douglas, and lead actress Anna Castells, a TV presenter with an irritatingly harsh delivery in spite of her background (she’s the only self-dubbed cast member).
