Twelve years have passed since Travolti da un insolito destino nell’azzurro mare d’agosto, and Lina Wertmüller again directs Mariangela Melato in this Notte d’estate con profilo greco, occhi a mandorla e odore di basilico, another film about a rich-poor contrast, although this time the rich take the revenge. In an era of kidnappings to ransom millionaires, a wealthy Lombard woman (Mariangela Melato) kidnaps a Sicilian kidnapping specialist and demands a hundred billion ransom from her. Day after day, the woman discovers that she is sexually attracted to the miscreant.
In this film Mariangela Melato is extremely sensual and we can admire her naked in a bed sex scene in the twenty-seventh minute. Thirty-eight minutes later the actress arouses us with another, much longer sex scene. The next morning the actress takes off her clothes to take a swim in the sea totally naked.
