Why did I decide to watch Tigers in Lipstick? For two reasons. First, two days before the screening, I saw the stunning Italian film almanac Let’s Talk About Women starring Vittorio Gassman. And this very almanac made a serious positive impact on me! Secondly, I cannot hide my sympathies for the director Luigi Dzampa, after watching his films “Roman” and “Strike the alarm”. But they were acutely social dramas, and here are novels of an erotic-comedy orientation, with the participation of then actresses of beauties.
The first novel “Arab” or “Twenty years will pass unnoticed” looks very impressive. The beach. Photo of a woman. And on the beach walks a man, languishing with the heat, to whom the boy does not believe that he is an Arab. A man sees a picture of a naked woman in the sand, and his feet lead him into a deadly trap. Very interesting story. Sylvia Christel is good, but the man just burns his simple and desire to make love. It is said that the humpback grave will correct.
The second sketch about a boy who is late for school and accidentally meets a lady “of these” is instructive and ridiculous. Well, you know what I mean. The lady assumes the functions of the mother of this tomboy, that she will escort the poor child to school and put in a good word for him before the principal. Monica Vitti is quite sexy and impulsive, which gives a special flavor to this sketch, in which the headmaster of the school Roberto Benigni. That's a great story!
The other six novels are good in their own way, but I would like to highlight the last one. It's called "Well, I got it." A guy walks around the city, sees a beautiful woman and thinks to himself, how to meet her. Gaining courage and coming. And, miraculously, she does not reject his claims. But everything would be so simple if it weren’t so funny and sad at the same time. The lady turned out to be a workaholic and there is no time for a personal life involving making love. And as they do not try to carve it out, only ridiculous absurdities come out. Laura Antonelli as a businesswoman who lives only at work is amazing!
In general, it turned out to be a good almanac, but his early colleague “Let’s talk about women” still concedes. Look at beautiful women and watch the vicissitudes of the situation in which the heroes of this picture are quite possible. The mood is certainly not spoiled, you can believe the word!
