| This romantic comedy, an Italian and French anthology, is comprised of four short films each directed by a different director, each featuring a different star of â60s European cinema. The first vignette, Queen Sabina tells the story of a hitchhiker (Monica Vitti) who canât seem to make it home without driving each of her drivers mad with passion. Queen Armenia centers on a gypsy babysitter (Claudia Cardinale) who takes full advantage of a doctorâs bedside manner. The third episode, Queen Elena centers on a husband who canât get the seductive wife next door (Raquel Welch) out of his mind. The last vignette, Queen Marta centers on a wealthy woman (Capucine, Walk on the Wild Side, Song Without End) who, when sober, is a cold, haughty member of high society, but after a few drinks, becomes the purring plaything for her chauffeur who canât keep track of where his place should be.
