It starred Renzo Montagnani, Luigi Pistilli, Claude Jade, Chris Avram, Guido Mannari, and Massimo Serato.
The film is loosely based on a real-life story detailing crime and drugs in the Rome underground.
After the film quickly disappeared from public view in 1973 due to political censorship, it was restored in 2021 and had its theatrical re-release and world premiere on television.
He welcomes Leo (Venantino Venantini), the owner of the club, Sylvie Boisset (Claude Jade), a French actress and model, Mino Cattani (Massimo Serato), the editor of the newspaper, Commenda (Renato Turi) and the lawyer (Paolo di Tusco).
At dawn in a villa in Rome: three men sit next to the body of the naked Deborah Garner (Josiane Tanzilli).
Her husband, Teddy Garner Jr (Paolo Malco), is comforted by his two friends: Massimo (Guido Mannari) and Dino Pancati (Howard Ross).
The Commendatore tells him that Garner is close to a royal family, the elderly Princess (Rina Franchetti) says nothing, the lawyer turns to an art dealer (Roberto D'Ettorre Piazzoli) who is involved in the trade of stolen paintings, as well as to the director of a pawnshop who is also an accomplice.
The commendatore elaborates a scam with the notary: he pretends to have bought some paintings from the legitimate owner, now deceased, a nobleman, which then ended up in Garner's house.
The husband (Andrea Scotti) is beaten, the wife (Rita Calderoni) is forced to have sex and raped by Pupo.
Massimo tells Sylvie not to be too afraid of Benni because the real criminals and dangerous villains are Leo and the Commenda.
She has taken the heroin and is rolling around naked ecstatically in agony on the bed, helpfully caressing herself with white foam in her mouth.
While having sex with Betsy, he tells her that a policeman (Emilio Bonucci) showed up while he was carrying paintings on the beach at night.
[2] Nicola Campigli, to whom his late father Massimo bequeathed a fortune in pictures in 1971, is the victim of an art theft.
Since Campigli has frequented Rome's jet set at Club "Number One", he meets the son-in-law of comedian Totò, the young film producer Gianni Buffardi.
[4] It wasn't until 2021 that the film was restored by the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia and saw its re-release and world premiere on television.
The film, whose main characters are pseudonyms of partly real representatives of the jet set in Rome in the 1970s, disappears from the public.
The Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia and the Cineteca Nazionale are reconstructing the film in collaboration with the television broadcaster Cine34.
[7] Luca Pallanch from the Cineteca Nazionale said: “The good Roma, told a little earlier by Carlo Lizzani, and the bad Rome, painted by Gianni Buffardi, are two sides of the same coin that now not only offer cinephiles but also detectives in Italian history will.
