A corrupt businessman obtains a castle through surreptitious means. He conducts a series of affairs with several women while his ill wife remains bed-ridden. After her death he marries one of his mistresses but she has her own agenda and proceeds to kill him by excessive sex.
Naked and Lustful is a pretty in your face title for a film. It sort of lives up to it to be fair as there is a fair bit nudity in this one. It's more of a soft-core erotic drama than a thriller though because at absolutely no point in proceedings is there any suspenseful action, while the murder by sex part of the plot comes out of nowhere and right at the end. It's really squarely about erotic action, with a very loose plot sort of just there to give us an excuse to see as much nudity as possible. As a result it's a pretty direction-less affair, although it is reasonably erotic at times. The only person I recognised was Femi Benussi, who starred in quite a lot of Italian genre pictures of the time, such as Milano Calibro 9. In this one, she is the first of the line of mistresses of the thoroughly unlikable main man. The director, Alfredo Rizzo, was responsible for another sexploitation effort I have seen called The Bloodsucker Leads the Dance, which was even less focused than this one. Rizzo is hardly one of the better Italian directors to say the least but at least here he sort of delivers what he sets out to, even if it is a pretty lackadaisical effort on the whole.
