Made a noble in 1930 by King Victor Emmanuel chiefly for his exemplary treatment of his workers, Count Gaetano has five sons to carry on his title and the family business: Vittorio Emanuele, 40, a Liberal Deputy; Umberto, 36, who runs the farms; Paolo, 32, a sales executive with the retail outlets; Pietro, 25. a law student, and Giannino, 34, who has been handed the prize assignment-running the textile company. As a youth, handsome, soft-spoken Giannino became an Italian national hero by twice (in 1950 and 1953) winning the Mille Miglia road race. Says...
What to do? In desperation, Mrs. Stone consults an aristocratic procuress, a ludicrous old mascaraed barracuda who calls herself La Contessa Magda Terribili-Gonzales (Lotte Lenya).
