Sexy Proibitissimo (1963)
*** (out of 4)
If you're looking for a hard-hitting and detailed documentary about stripping throughout the ages then you're not going to find it with SEXY PROIBITISSIMO. If you're looking for a somewhat funny look at stripping through the ages then you might enjoy this "documentary" from Italy.
What we basically have here is a narrator telling us about the various times that we're watching. It could be from the caveman era, the Biblical era or various others. The connection on all of the skits is that we see the forms of strippers and how they have changed over the years.
For the most part I found this to be a rather funny picture and especially with some of the narration. For example, during the caveman sequence the narrator states that it might be hard to imagine a time when women didn't run their mouths. I would really argue that most of the comedy here was much better than the sex jokes that you'd see in Mel Brooks' HISTORY OF THE WORLD PART I. The film also offers up a lot of nudity as we see the various strip skits including one segment that deals with horror films.
I guess the biggest plus here is that the women are all extremely attractive and there's no doubt that the "raincoat" crowd will enjoy this. The dance sequences are quite nice and you can just tell that there was a lot more effort put into this film than the type you'd see from America, which were usually just shot in someone's basement.
