Avanti, Avanti! (1972)
Ischia, die Insel der Romantik und des süßen Nichtstuns, das Paradies der Liebenden kurz: die Hölle für einen verklemmten Moralapostel wie Wendell D. Armbruster. Der Bostoner Geschäftsmann reist nur aus einem einzigen, traurigen Grund auf die Ferieninsel: Er will die Leiche seines Vaters heimholen, der hier bei einem Autounfall ums Leben gekommen ist. Doch der geschockte Junior muss erfahren, dass sein alter Herr das Zeitliche nicht alleine gesegnet hat, sondern gemeinsam mit einer Geliebten, die er Jahr für Jahr auf der Insel getroffen hat. Nun begegnet Wendell deren lebensfroher Tochter Pamela . Ihre Warmherzigkeit, zusammen mit Italiens Sonne, bringen seinen puritanischen Eispanzer allmählich zum Schmelzen. Doch vor das Glück der Beiden haben die Götter Ischias noch einen erpresserischen Zimmerkellner gesetzt…
