Although originally marketed to the 1972 Italian movie going public as a political / soft p.... trash flick, in an attempt to cash in at the box office, The Senator Likes Women is actually a sophisticated political satire film that makes some very serious accusations about what is portrayed as the reigning Italian political climate of the period, while hiding behind a kind of absurdist slapstick humour and surrealist dreamscapes (dominated by women's buttocks and nuns).
Lando Buzzanca (prominent Italian sex symbol of the era) brilliantly interprets the archetypal Italian male¿torn between the sacred and the profane, sex and celibacy, the devil and holy water¿in the role of Senator Puppis, a political pawn who is putty in the hands of conniving and corrupt priests and cardinals who use the Senator¿and soon President¿to forward their bigoted and reactionary agenda. The only catch is that the usually chaste Puppis can no longer ignore his sexual urges and his insatiable sexual appetite begins to seriously interfere with his political obligations and embarrass his mentor / puppeteer (a fantastic Lionel Stander in the role of Cardinal Maravidi). Laura Antonelli is also amazing in the role of the temptress nun who threatens to lure Puppis away from politics altogether. She would soon become an Italian movie diva for her role in Malizia , released the following year. Director Lucio Fulci (well-known outside of Italy for horror films like The Beyond ) is the mastermind behind the film's brilliant ending which takes the film beyond satire and straight into the grotesque!
