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.

Title: Un caso di coscienza (1970)
Vote: 7/10
The doubt of betrayal creeps into the daily life of a provincial town. The results will be disastrous because everyone has something to hide and when the secrets come out, tragedy is just around the corner.

“I’m an American hiding in Sicily. My name is Michael Corleone. There are people who’d pay a lot of money for that information... But then your daughter would lose a father instead of gaining a husband.”

Beat The Devil (1953) [Action] [Adventure] [Comedy]
Timeless Classic Movies
Beat the Devil is a 1953 British film directed by John Huston, starring Humphrey Bogart, Jennifer Jones and Gina Lollobrigida, and featuring Robert Morley, Peter Lorre and Bernard Lee.
Huston and Truman Capote wrote the screenplay, loosely based upon a novel of the same name by British journalist Claud Cockburn, writing under the pseudonym James Helvick.
Houston made the film as a parody of a genre of film. Although often described as a parody of The Maltese Falcon, which Huston directed and in which Bogart and Lorre appeared, this is not the case.
The script, written on a day-to-day basis as the film was shot, concerns the adventures of a motley crew of swindlers and ne'er-do-wells trying to claim land rich in uranium deposits in Kenya as they wait in a small Italian port to travel aboard a tramp steamer en route to Mombasa.
---
Plot: Billy Dannreuther (Humphrey Bogart) is a formerly-wealthy American who has fallen on hard times. He is reluctantly working with four crooks: Peterson (Robert Morley), ex-Nazi Julius O'Hara (Peter Lorre), Major Jack Ross (Ivor Barnard) and Ravello, who are trying to acquire uranium-rich land in British East Africa. Billy suspects that Major Ross murdered a British Colonial officer, who threatened to expose their plan. While waiting in Italy for passage to Africa, Billy and his wife Maria (Gina Lollobrigida) meet a British couple: Harry (Edward Underdown) and Gwendolen Chelm (Jennifer Jones), who plan to travel on the same ship. Harry is a very proper and traditional Englishman, while Gwendolen is flighty and fanciful and a compulsive liar. Billy and Gwendolen have an affair, while Maria flirts with Harry. Peterson becomes suspicious that the Chelms may be attempting to acquire the uranium themselves. His suspicions are unfounded, but they seem to him to be confirmed by Gwendolen, who lies about her husband and exaggerates his importance.
Billy and Peterson are in a car accident and wrongly reported to have been killed. In order to replace Peterson's lost capital, Ravello approaches Harry Chelm and explains their scheme. Just then, to everyone's surprise, Billy and Peterson return to the hotel alive and unharmed. The purser announces that the ship is at last ready to sail. On board, Harry reveals that he knows about Peterson's scheme and intends to inform the authorities. Peterson orders Major Ross to kill Harry, but Billy thwarts the murder attempt. Harry's outraged accusations alienate the ship's drunken captain, who locks Harry in the brig, where he is uncomfortable, but safe from Major Ross.
The ship's engine malfunctions and the ship sinks. When Billy goes to free Harry he finds that Harry has escaped and left the ship, intending to swim ashore. The passengers abandon the sinking ship in a lifeboat and land on an African beach, where they are arrested by Arab soldiers. They are interrogated by Ahmed, an Arab official who suspects that they may be spies or revolutionaries. Billy befriends Ahmed by talking with him about Rita Hayworth, upon whom Ahmed has a crush. Billy persuades him to send the party back to Italy. When they land, they are met and questioned by a Scotland Yard detective (Bernard Lee), who is investigating the murder of the Colonial officer. Gwendolen reveals Peterson's scheme, and his involvement in the murder, and his attempt to murder Harry, to the detective, who promptly arrests Peterson, O'Hara, Major Ross and Ravello. As the four crooks are led away in handcuffs, Gwendolen receives a telegram from British East Africa saying that Harry has acquired the land Peterson and the others meant to steal, and is now extremely rich and willing to forgive Gwendolen, Billy and Maria. Billy laughs happily, saying "This is the end, the end!".

Modesty Blaise screencaps!
Modesty Blaise is a 1966 British comedy spy-fi film directed by Joseph Losey. It was loosely based upon the popular comic strip Modesty Blaise by Peter O'Donnell, who co-wrote the original story upon which Evan Jones based his screenplay. The film's music composed by Johnny Dankworth and the theme song, Modesty, sung by David and Jonathan. Modesty Blaise stars Italian actress Monica Vitti, Terence Stamp, Dirk Bogarde, Harry Andrews, Michael Craig and Clive Revill. It is Monica Vitti's first English-speaking role.
Plot (it may contain spoilers)
British Secret Service chief Sir Gerald Tarrant (Harry Andrews) recruits former criminal mastermind Modesty Blaise (Monica Vitti) to protect a shipment of diamonds en route to a Middle Eastern sheik, Abu Tahir (Clive Revill). The shipment has also attracted Gabriel (Dirk Bogarde), the head of a criminal organization that includes his henchman McWhirter (Clive Revill) and Mrs. Fothergill (Rossella Falk). Modesty believes that Gabriel, who maintains a compound in the Mediterranean, is dead, but he reveals himself to her. In Amsterdam, Modesty reunites with her former lover, secret agent Paul Hagen (Michael Craig), while her partner, Willie Garvin (Terence Stamp), is reunited with an old flame, Nicole (Tina Aumont), who may have information on Gabriel. Nicole is killed by assassins working for Gabriel, who are in turn killed by Modesty and Willie. Modesty and Willie set themselves up as live bait to draw Gabriel out, but find themselves pursued by Tarrant and Hagen. Gabriel captures Modesty and forces Willie to help steal the diamonds. Held prisoner on Gabriel's island, Modesty and Willie escape, killing Mrs. Fothergill. Thanks to a radio signal from Modesty, Abu Tahir's forces invade the island and capture Gabriel. Modesty gives the shipment of diamonds to Abu Tahir and, as her reward, asks for and receives the diamonds.
