This delightful comedy seems to be a prequel to Pranzo di ferragosto
. The main character, Gianni, is the same. Only he's still married and his mother lives in her own home, which she manages to squander without her son getting any say.
The film is mainly about the attempts of the middle-aged Gianni to seduce a young woman, any good looking one. He's been put up to this project by his lawyer friend who seems as desperate as he is. Moreover, he discovers that a far older and fatter acquaintance of his manages to get it off with a voluptuous blonde running a neighborhood shop.
Needless to say, all his attempts come to nothing. The women he tries to woo usually make use of his services (cooking, walking the dog, finding bottles hidden by their daughters, ..) but fail to succumb to his charms.
I found Pranzo di ferragosto slightly more hilarious, but also this movie is well worth watching. ☆☆☆☆
