Humour, good acting (Pierre Brasseur and Marcello are excellent)and a not so innocent theme.
Antonio is a victim of traditional Sicilian society where the church is ubiquitous and categorizes women in either sluts or Saints. Platonic love is reserved for the Saints, sex is for the rest. Sex and love are so far apart that Antonio can not reconcile them, it will ruin his life.
Mauro Bolognini has made a great deal of good movies, this one is not its most famous but it deserves more attention. The taste and accent of Southern Italy 40 years ago is in every scene.
