This film is an extremely entertaining psychological thriller with Carrol Baker excellent as a rich American widow getting away from it all at a secluded Italian villa. Enter smart aleck down on his luck playboy, Lou Castel, who has some golddigging motives behind his slick hipster seduction techniques and has no qualms about how he gets what he wants. He encourages Baker's character's incipient alcoholism and dubious self-esteem, brings in his supposed 'sister' to help drag Baker even further into a maze of sick mind games, drug addiction and group sex, all culminating in a descent into near-madness and self-destructive depravity.
I won't give away anymore, suffice to say that the film delivers on its swinging sixties, Euro sleaze ambience and psychological suspense thriller credentials in spades. Director Umberto Lenzi's work has been, at best, uneven and he's churned out his share of crap. However, he made some quite good giallos and crime pictures in the sixties and seventies and this is one of them (other good films by Lenzi -- SPASMO, SEVEN BLOODSTAINED ORCHIDS, ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON, to name only a few).
Unfortunately this film is ofen confused with another okay but not-quite-as-good Lenzi film that was also released briefly here in America under the same PARANOIA title (but is more commonly known, especially on video, as A QUIET PLACE TO KILL).
单一地点+老戏骨的组合很难不让人想到《困在时间里的父亲》，后者在影片技法上还是要更有层次一些，而这部电影的强势就在于每个段落高潮前的那一点铺垫，都恰到好处。
7/10 演技精湛，简单的小故事和人物背后的故事，处理得张弛有度，有很多十分生活气息的笑点，关于人的身体、感情、道德的讨论也有趣，两代人几十年前后观念的变化和对比也很有趣
故事设定很棒，55岁寡妇点鸭子，四次见面，先谈天说地再上天入地。可是作为一部话痨电影来看，大段大段的台词太不精彩了，让我疑惑到底什么时候才到正题，什么时候才能不要说那么多废话。结局象征意义很大，解放欲望，解放身体，是很多女人的重要命题。
有些理想化了其实，清新得如同一场fantasy。（莫名发现自己好像更容易代入Leo这个角色及其职业，even as a woman）（Emma Thompson演得真是太好了）
一个人帅气有礼貌，会交流，耐心温柔，邀请你交配有什么可以拒绝的呢？看看那些约炮男有什么资本让人睡得下去？
well, it’s an orgasm,u know,it’s not a Fabergé egg.people have them everyday.所以小哥两小时到底多少钱
挺不错的，建议40以上的女生都看看，20岁就不要看了
P.S.配乐点睛之笔
leo的眼睛真的太好看了！那些对话慢慢抽丝剥茧出面具下的两个人。Emma这个真的是登峰造极的表演...啊~pleasure~
英国电影总有惊喜。
两人伴随音乐翩翩起舞时太美好了，太美好了。
知识女性到老都充满魅力！剧本不深，但演员上台面啊，可以可以。
轻巧、讨喜、深邃、充满情欲之余又搞笑。现在就想问问男主这样服务人员几多钱一个钟。
或许人人都有隐痛点，渴望理解接纳、也渴望被治愈。
美人迟暮。话题倒是比较开放，但实在接受无感。鸭鸭竟然也成为一种这么绅士的职业，果然贫穷限制了我的想象力。
雖然有時候覺得Nancy真的patronizingly didactic，但本質上卻是對身體和愉悅的本性和途徑的探討。鏡中日益老去鬆弛的身體，連自己都棄若敝屣，又如何指望別人能愛上呢？在年齡、性別、身分甚至技巧方面的自卑，Emma用教科書般的分階演繹因材施教，坦誠相待，把自己全身心地交付出去，還順帶處理了親密關係和原生家庭問題，Once & more!
话痨/ 谁不希望在疲惫之年获得这样一份慰藉呢 坦诚是所有的答案
诙谐温馨的好电影。生命，终究要放下评判、自我主宰。
3.5 女人的性关键是情景是语言是心动的感觉，到最后还记挂着让客户高潮，真是专业的好鸭
两位主演的表演也很精彩。Emma的眼神，肢体动作等等把角色的情绪展现得细腻至极，而leo从一开始的神秘到后面的情绪暴发过渡也很自然。
