Description: A playful, glamorous anthology of eight erotic-comic vignettes, Tigers in Lipstick brings together four of Europe’s most celebrated stars of the 1970s — Sylvia Kristel, Ursula Andress, Monica Vitti, and Laura Antonelli — each appearing in two delightfully mischievous sketches. Directed by Luigi Zampa, the film blends sensuality, irony, and absurd humor into a glossy late-70s fantasy of temptation and folly.
Segment 1 — Sylvia Kristel: The Bait
A mysterious woman on a seaside vacation seduces a traveling salesman into her room, but her real motive is far darker — she needs someone to take the blame for a corpse hidden in her bed. Seduction turns to deceit in this noir-flavored opener.
Segment 2 — Monica Vitti: The Substitute Mother
A streetwise woman agrees to impersonate a young delinquent’s mother during a school meeting. Her fake maternal act spirals into hilarious chaos as the boy’s teachers and classmates uncover one lie after another.
Segment 3 — Ursula Andress: The Mourning Widow
After her politician husband’s death, a glamorous widow receives a journalist eager for an interview. But the photo session soon becomes a sensual game of exposure, turning grief into desire beneath the camera’s flash.
Segment 4 — Laura Antonelli: The Jealous Husband
A fiery wife grows tired of her husband’s obsessive jealousy and decides to teach him a shocking lesson. What begins as marital bickering escalates into a mischievous revenge — Italian style.
Segment 5 — Sylvia Kristel: The Bored Housewife
A restless young wife trapped in a dull marriage rebels against her professor husband’s routine. Between burnt dinners and cold beds, she discovers new ways to wake up their relationship — with explosive results.
Segment 6 — Monica Vitti: The Jewel Thief
Vitti shines as a cunning thief who steals an expensive necklace — only to have it stolen from her moments later. A fast-paced chase through high-society parties follows, full of disguises, double-crosses, and comic seductions.
Segment 7 — Ursula Andress: The Traffic Tease
In a hilarious satire, a woman deliberately flashes her underwear in the middle of Rome, causing mass car crashes. She’s secretly in business with local mechanics who pay her for every wrecked car she indirectly delivers.
Segment 8 — Laura Antonelli: The Busy Lover
A shy orchestra conductor finally meets the woman of his dreams — but she’s a whirlwind of constant phone calls and business meetings. Their every attempt at romance is interrupted, until exhaustion gives way to absurd affection.
Each story celebrates a different flavor of desire — from deceit and jealousy to power and play — carried by four screen goddesses at the height of their fame.
