Casanova ’70

Marcello Mastroianni as a NATO officer irresistible to women. Gigliola: Virna Lisi. Noelle: Michele Mercier. Thelma: Marisa Mell. Directed by Mario Monicelli., Marcello Mastroianni portrays the handsome lover Casanova pitted against a thoroughly modern woman. This is a legendary hero often depicted in movies, but this time he is portrayed with a slightly different problem – the only time he’s “in the mood” is when he feels that he is in danger. His job as NATO officer offers plenty of opportunity for his sexual arousal problems to be assuaged.
