My Father's Private Secretary (Italian : La segretaria privata di mio padre) is a 1976 commedia sexy all'italiana directed by Mariano Laurenti and starring Maria Rosaria Omaggio and Renzo Montagnani. [1] [2]
An unfaithful businessman kowtows to his jealous wife by hiring unattractive secretaries, when a newly hired female employee attracts both his son's and his attention.
The film is a loose remake of Goffredo Alessandrini's Telefoni Bianchi film The Private Secretary . [1]
The film was released in Italian cinemas by Titanus on 26 December 1976. [1]
In Italy, the film was a hit, grossing over 800 million lira. [1] Corriere della Sera film critic Giovanna Grassi described it as a pochade filled with stereotypes, which "depicts women as prostitutes, nymphomaniacs, or sleazy social climbers, and degrades the Italian man to a macchietta [caricature] of his worst flaws".
