Quel gran pezzo dell'Ubalda tutta nuda e tutta calda, internationally released as Ubalda, All Naked and Warm (though translated to Spanish as "Ubalda la hermosa, ardiente y fogosa") is a 1972 Italian comedy film directed by Mariano Laurenti.
It gained a great commercial success and an important film in the "commedia sexy all'italiana" genre and its decamerotico subgenre.
The couple of main actors Edwige Fenech-Pippo Franco was reunited for the similar Giovannona Long-Thigh, released the following year.
Plot
As in Odysseus, the Ulysses of this story, returning from war, a certain simple-minded Olimpio de' Pannocchieschi arrives in his village where his wife Fiamma (Karin Schubert) is all but waiting for him.
Fiamma makes a vow not to give herself to her husband until after fifteen days after his return.
Olimpio, while making peace with his belligerent neighbor Mastro Oderisi, embarks on the impossible enterprise to make his beautiful wife his again.
During his wait, the hero falls in love with Ubalda.
