The plot In eighteenth-century France, a gallant writer is hosted by a rich and seductive marquise in her castle. Every night, the young man sneaks into his hostess's room and engages in a verbal and amorous duel with her consisting of propositions and recollections, such as when he was imprisoned for his morally reprehensible conduct. In prison, he had kept strange company in the neighboring cell, who sought to test his amorous faith with notes, food, and even young women. A game of Inchblind man's buffInch in the garden allowed him to seduce Armande, a young woman as available as she was, in his opinion, boring. The skirmish continues with attempts at seduction by the dandy, which the marquise rebuffs with ever-decreasing determination. The writer also recalls a detailed description, with figurative demonstration, of the ancient torture of stocks inflicted on him by the sadistic yet courteous prison governor, but the memory of the wedges and the description of shattering bones gives way to the less bloody but fiery summer afternoon in which the beautiful Julie, found undressed on a sofa, is convinced by the writer, with a meticulous practical test, that the physicists' theory of heat-induced weakening of virile energ

Beat Records is pleased to re- on CD the OSTs by Ennio Morricone for the romantic comedy films Idoli controluce and... E la donna creo' l'uomo (aka Volles Herz und leere Taschen). In this score, Morricone alternates pleasant, lounge-flavored tunes (InchSophisticated boy,Inch InchRelax in solitudine,Inch InchRendez -vousInch) with romantic themes (InchLe meno importanti,Inch InchLe cose più importantiInch). This CD reissue, lasting 51 04, includes for the first time the Baroque-flavored piece InchVilla Madama,Inch which was featured as the background music at a house party and had only previously been released on an Italian promo library vinyl and Japanese CD compilation. For this Italian-German co-production, Ennio Morricone composed a pleasant lounge-type score that didn't see the light of day on the soundtrack market at the time. It wasn't until 2005 that GDM Music issued the music from this film on CD (GDM 2058), along with selections from Idoli controluce, with the approval of Maestro Morricone. A dance tune is introduced in the opening credits (repeated in the finale with Alessandroni's whistle), alternating with exotic rhythms (InchExoticoeroticoInch) and a romantic orchestral theme (InchDawn in the parkInch). The leitmotif is arranged in bossa nova (InchDonnabossaInch), classical (InchE la donna creò l'uomoInch), fast version (InchInseguendo leiInch), for classical guitar and orchestra (InchDolcemente donnaInch), with sax (InchSexydonnaInch), suspended and sweetly magical (InchAspettando leiInch), and a brilliant and even faster version (InchCorrendo verso leiInch).
