import release of aka 'La Vedova Inconsolabile Ringrazia Quanti La Consolarono/The Inconsolable Widow Thanks to All Who Consoled Her/A Viuva Inconsolavel' the 1973 Italian erotic, sex comedy with a few giallo elements thrown in directed by Mariano Laurenti.
Salvatore is killed in an automobile accident while driving and looking at naked pictures of his sexy wife Catarina (Edwige Fenech). Because he died with a legally valid will, his considerable inheritance is to be split among his wife and his eleven no-account brothers. However, Franchesca, the dead man's scheming mother-in-law finds a loophole. If the wife (her daughter) is pregnant, the inheritance is all hers. And since she has 300 days to give birth to the "heir", she can easily make use of a surrogate father (if she hurries) to produce this heir. But where will she ever find a willing surrogate?
Well, since the wife (Catarina) is played by the voluptuous Edwige Fenech, that is certainly not going to be a problem. In fact, the brothers, many of whom are low-level mafiosi, have to recruit a bunch of goons to keep away the mob of male suitors who want to "console" this "inconsolable widow", but then they even have to worry these virile toughs might themselves prove too right for the job.
Catarina (Fenech) goes from a shy, demure woman manipulated by her grasping mother to a more than active participant in the scheme, justifying herself all the way in hilarious monologues with her dead husbands photograph (which keeps changing expressions). Fenech here shows why she was the reigning queen of 70's sex comedies. She delivers a very funny performance that would be worthwhile even if she didn't take her clothes off (but, of course, she DOES take her clothes off too).
The dream-like sequence with Edwige as a 'Night of the Sorcerers'-type jungle girl being stripped down for sex by a ravenous caveman is priceless!
