First Lines: Niccolo Machiavelli - The Prince

Those who strive to obtain the good graces of a prince are
accustomed to come before him with such things as they hold most
precious, or in which they see him take most delight; whence one
often sees horses, arms, cloth of gold, precious stones, and
similar ornaments presented to princes, worthy of their greatness.

La mandragola (1965)

Mandragola oder Der Liebhaber als Arzt West Germany
Mandragola: The Love Root (undefined)
The Mandrake (undefined)



A husband desperate for an heir, will do anything to produce one, and in desperation he sends his devoted wife to a man pretending to be a doctor.

Erotic historic comedy with a message, based on a long banned play by Niccolò Machiavelli. Funny and erotic, this is quite enjoyable.
