This ludicrous piece of Italian early erotic cinema is a perfect exemplar of the movies of those years, with a naive will to be erotic without the dare to be really erotic. So this sort of historical drama around the sexual exploits of the young Lucrezia Borgia, daughter of Pope Alexander Borgia and sister of the infamous Cesare Borgia - the hero of Italian historian Niccolò Machiavelli, his ideal prince in the homonymous political pamphlet - is more a comic book story than a real movie - and in fact inspired a sexy comic book the following year - a sort of mixture of secret sexual intrigues between the young and savage mid-European blonde beauty Olinka Berova - Ayesha in Hammer's Vengeance of She - and the not so young but equally reckless leader of the rebellion against the Pope Gianni Garko, and several sword fights and forest ambushes that seem to be taken by force from Robin Hood. Anyway, the movie is so bad that could be almost a cult for people who love such strange productions. For those only it could be worth a look.
