Una cavalla tutta nuda (literally The all-naked horse) is a 1972 commedia sexy all'italiana directed by Franco Rossetti.[1] [2] It stars Don Backy, Barbara Bouchet and Renzo Montagnani.

Plot

The story is set in the Middle Ages. The youngsters Folcacchio and Guffardo must bring an embassy to the Bishop of Volterra, and during the trip, the two boys meet the beautiful Gemmata. The woman is a poor peasant who is married to Nicholas. Folcacchio and Guffardo, to have a night of love with the girl, pretend to be magicians who can turn humans into beasts. In fact Gemmata wants to be transformed into a horse to plow the land of her property without fatigue. So Folcacchio and Guffardo invent a magic ritual.

Reception

La Stampa summed up that the only (and predictable) purpose of the film was to put its story, which was clearly foreshadowed in the title, as frankly as possible into images, which, thanks to the good Barbara Bouchet, was achieved within a modest framework.[3]

Segnalazioni Cinematografiche said that although the film, inspired by the classical sources, was not really badly produced and made, some images and situations seemed reprehensible, and the vulgarity of the dialog was disapproved of.[4]
