Roommates Claudia Cardinale and Catherine Spaak may not end up in cat fights, but both fliet with the same man (John Philip Law), invited over for a spaghetti dinner (with garlic and oil, so it's obviously not the boring American version with jarred sauce, and like Rosemary Clooney and Vera Ellen singing the song "Sisters" in "White Christmas", one wears the dress while the other stays home. That's at least how it seems in this not very amusing Italian comedy that keeps repeating the same sing songish music where nothing seems to be happening outside of the normal romantic moments that go from one exotic location to another.
So the viewer gets some great Italian locales, but what it doesn't get is the passion normally associated with such films. When they have discussions about their involvements with Law, there's absolutely no conflict, so all you get is talk talk until the offer of a menage is mentioned. The leads are gorgeous but they are stuck with a lifeless script, and the fact that the print of the film (which is in the public domain) has very bad sound) makes for a difficult film to get through. Cardinale does give her character some temperament, but there's really not much promise of anything serious happen so the plot just barely takes flight.
