La bolognese ('The Girl from Bologna') is a 1975 commedia sexy all'italiana film directed by Alfredo Rizzo and starring Franca Gonella.

Plot

Cast

Production

The film was produced by Romi Cinematografica.[1][2] It was shot between Milan, Monte Gelato and other locations in the Lazio region.[1]

Release

The film was distributed in Italian cinemas in late 1975, but almost immediately all copies were seized on the order of a prosecutor, and in June 1976 the Court of Latina sentenced director, cast and producers for obscenity.[1][3] After a successful appeal, the film was re-released in May 1977.[1]

Reception

A contemporary review on Il Giorno described the film as "useless more than mediocre", with the director "almost never managing even a hint of a smile when attempting humor, or the faintest trace of emotion when shifting to eroticism."[2]
