Giovannino screecaps!
Giovannino is a 1976 Italian comedy film written and directed by Paolo Nuzzi and starring Christian De Sica, Tina Aumont, Jenny Tamburi and Carole André. It is based on a novel of the same name by Ercole Patti.
Plot (it may contain spoilers)
Giovannino (Christian De Sica) is unmarried and still lives with his parents. He falls in love/lust with his pretty next door neighbor, but her strict parents and his strict parents put the kibosh on their relationship. He takes solace by having sex with the family maid, but after his mother catches him playing with her ample breasts, she is sent away. He goes to a bachelor party with his friends where they snort cocaine and he ends up apparently being breast-fed by a woman of ill-repute (Tina Aumont). Then he meets the daughter of a family friend (Jenny Tamburi) and still more sex ensues. Finally, he gets married at the urging of his parents, and things get really boring.

Before The Beyond (1981), before City of the Living Dead (1980), before Zombie (1979), director Lucio Fulci mastered the Giallo subgenre throughout the 1970s. The Grue-Crew tune into his comparatively subdued feature The Psychic (1977), also known as Sette note in nero, aka Murder to the Tune of the Seven Black Notes, aka Seven Notes in Black. Fulci displays only a hint of the gore and bizarre narratives he would embrace in the decade to come, opting to stick to a fairly straightforward, supernatural-infused, murder mystery where psychic Jennifer O’Neill witnesses visions of a deadly and bloody murder. Of course, twists and turns follow each new discovery as she follows the clues to the shocking conclusion.
At the time of this writing, The Psychic is available to stream from Kanopy, Tubi, and Popcornflix. The movie is available on disc as a Blu-ray from Scorpion Releasing.
