Tonino Valerii made some decent films, including Day of Anger and My Name is Nobody. This ain't one of them. Ewa Aulin-lookalike Silvia Dionisio stars as the titular Jules, a rather clueless young woman lusted after by virtually every other character that crosses in front of the camera. The film is punctuated by frequent softcore (very soft) sex scenes and relies on a number of cliches to define Jules' bedmates, including the tortured middle-aged man and the unhappy lesbian who drinks to forget. Dionisio drifts expressionlessly through the film, which climaxes with an outburst of violence hardly in keeping with the rest of the film. It's too little, too late to render this film anything more than a squirm-inducing footnote to co-star John Steiner's career.
