Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Period romp in which five convent girls try in turn to prove they are the daughter of Europe's greatest courtesan and heir to her fortune. Classical bawdy tales pad out a thin plot, and a number of crowd scenes sugggest a fair-sized budget. The film requires little comment beyond the mystery of its English title (not a pair to be seen), and a passing reference to the camera's lingering obsession with buttocks to the virtual exclusion of everything else.Author:
