Anita (Hawn) is an American actress who decides to vacation in Rome. There, she becomes involved in a romance with her friend's married lover Guido (Giannini).
In his review of the film in The New York Times, Herbert Mitgang wrote that "the love scenes, which more or less is what this crazy, mixed up plot aims to be leading up to, lack any redeeming social value," that the writers "seem to have made up this script as they went along," that "there are inexplicable sudden cuts, as the plot wavers between the absurd and the serious," and that the film "doesn't really deserve its R rating, unless the phrase is added, For immature adults only."[4] Film critic Gene Siskel reported that "this film is full of stupid slapstick and badly done dubbing," and that it was "a total waste of time."[5]
