La Liceale nella classe dei ripetenti

 (1979)

by Tuna

This is the second in a series of La Liceale raunchy teen comedies from Italy. The setting is a school full of students with little ability and even less interest, all of whom delight in torturing the somewhat unusual faculty. The headmaster carries a riding crop, and is constantly hurting himself or others with it. One teacher is a large woman who bounces off the ceiling every time there is a loud noise near her. The gym teacher is perpetually trying to get laid, and has to motivate uninterested students. The new music professor comes out of class every afternoon to find his car disabled.

When you ask about hot Italian stars today, Monica Belucci and possibly Asia Argento come to mind. Most mainstream movie buffs will also remember Gina Lollobrigida and Sophia Loren. If you were a fan of Italian exploitation in the 70s, however, the names were Edwige Fenech and Gloria Guida. This time the large-breasted, Lolita-like Guida takes the lead role, and shows off her abundant breasts and buns. The central plot narrative features Guida, as the most attractive girl on campus, being pursued by two main suitors: the headmaster's son; and a dark, quiet boy in the class.

Of course, the school has the usual class troublemakers who are constantly up to mischief, much of which involves toilets, small explosives, and dirty tricks on professors. There is a shower scene that is eerily similar to the "beaver hunt" in Porky's, with the guys punching a hole into the girls shower, and the girls noticing, and slapping soap suds on them. The more observant of you have already figured out that Porky's came out three years after this film!

La Liceale

It is no wonder that the voter turnout it light, in that it is very hard to find. I found it in an all-region PAL from Germany at RLDVDs.com. It is titled Flotte Teens jetzt ohne Jeans (Hot Teens - Now Without Jeans) in the German release. It sports a pretty good transfer, with only a few white spots here and there. The biggest negative is that there is a choice of German or Italian and no English subtitles. On the other hand, much of the comedy is physical humor, which translates well even without a common language.
