La Nipote

Genres : Comedy

Year : 1974

Director : Nello Rossati

Cast : Francesca Muzio / Daniele Vargas / Annie Carol Edel / George Ardisson / Orchidea de Santis / Roberto Proietti / Ezio Marano / Otello Cazzola
Director Nello Rossati is perhaps most famous (well, outside Italy anyway) for a film called "The Sensuous Nurse", which featured original Bond girl Ursula Andress and played on late-night cable in America in the 80's. Perhaps as a result that film got a very decent DVD release (with subtitles even) a few years back. This film is pretty similar to that one; however, it has met a very different fate--the French got ahold of it at some point, dubbed it into French, and added about twenty minutes of hardcore porn inserts! The plot (which between the French dubbing and random XXX footage was pretty hard for me to follow) involves a typical bourgeois Italian patriarch, his unfaithful wife, his shy, virginal son and his saucy, voluptuous maid (Orchidea DeSantis)--all elements of "The Sensuous Nurse" as well--but there's also a resident stud, and in place of a sensuous nurse trying to kill the patriarch with sex, there's a malicious niece trying to, uh, kill the patriarch (her uncle) with sex.

In this sequel to Father of the Bride, Stanley Banks learns that his daughter Kay is going to have a baby. When they get the news everyone except Stanley is overjoyed. His wife and grandmother-to-be Ellie broadcasts it everywhere and all Stan can do is worry about the practical things like how his son-in-law Buckley can afford it. Well, having not long ago paid for the wedding, Stanley has no intention of bearing any of the expenses involved. Buckley's parents and Ellie are overjoyed at the news and virtually take over redecorating the young couple's new house. Crisis and false alarms take over their lives and when the child is born, the only person he doesn't seem to like is Stanley. A walk in the park - and absolute panic when Stanley misplaces his grandson - seems to resolve the situation.
