Jean Seberg

Parisians Raymond, a widowed man, and his seventeen year old daughter Cecile, who calls her father by his given name, live a life of privilege, decadence and frivolity. Their play is with each other, with whomever else they fancy and who want to be part of that decadent lifestyle. They are currently on vacation on the French Riviera with Raymond's latest conquest, Elsa, who is as much a casual lover for Raymond as she is a playmate for Cecile's partying ways.

The best of the Sexy Schoolteacher series of films starring Edwige Fenech, finds her headlining as Luisa, a redheaded piano teacher (in a short Jean Seberg-like hairdo) with an ample bosom, who rents an apartment in a rooming house peopled by perverts and wackos. Edwige stars as Luisa De Dominicis, a talented pianist who comes to the big city to follow her beloved, a politician running for re-election, who it turns out, is already married. When Luisa learns that her cheating boyfriend is cheating with her, she decides to do more than just tantalize the men of the rooming house where she lives. Before long, a comic display of males are coming through her doors at all hours of the night as a series of comic mishaps have everyone misidentify the zaftig seductress as a lady of the night, when in fact she is just a very sexual woman with a cheating boyfriend.

Questa raccolta apparve per la prima volta nel 1962 col titolo "Gloria ai nostri illustri pionieri" che Romain Gary sosteneva di aver preso in prestito da un'opera intitolata "Passeggiate sentimentali al chiaro di luna", scritta da un certo Sacha Tsipochkine. Naturalmente, Sacha Tsipochkine non era che l'ennesimo frutto della fertile immaginazione del futuro autore della "Vita davanti a sé". La raccolta riapparve nel 1975 col titolo "Gli uccelli vanno a morire in Perù", un racconto pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1964 sulla rivista Playboy e diventato poi, nel 1968, un film diretto dallo stesso Gary con Jean Seberg nel ruolo della protagonista. Alla fortunata riconsiderazione critica di Gary in corso ovunque nel mondo e, soprattutto, in Francia, dove la sua opera è entrata a far parte della prestigiosa Bibliothèque de la Pléiade, questa raccolta dà certamente un contributo rilevante..

Before leaving Paris, he plans to collect a debt from an underworld acquaintance and expects her to accompany him on his planned getaway to Italy.
