Like Brass’ Miranda, Frivolous Lola is another explicit comic romp set in the Po’ Valley (his other films set in his home city of Venice are populated with more philosophizing and intellectual – but no less lusty – characters). As in the post – WWII set Miranda, Brass once again uses the song “Mambo Italiano” in another dance sequence. This time Brass makes a cameo in the opening and closing sequences as a band leader. With the exception of Patrick Mower’s excellent performance, this one plays better in Italian with subtitles as the English dubbing of Ammirati’s character is irritating.

Directed by Tinto Brass, Senso ’45 takes place during the waning period of Nazi occupation in Venice, and is based on an 1882 novella written by Camillo Boito. When a wealthy, politically connected older woman named Livia (Anna Galiena) develops a relationship with Helmut (Gabriel Garko), a rakish, opportunistic SS officer, both are sucked into a state of moral decline similar to that which the country itself has gone into since the occupation. Senso ’45 also features Franco Branciaroli, Antonio Salines, Loredana Cannata, Erika Savastani, and Simona Borioni.
