...their own countrymen to open the Olympic Games this summer have been grumbling ever since their government tapped Britain's Queen Elizabeth for the honor. Now, at least, they can claim victory in a minor skirmish over the Queen's visit. It seems that the royal yacht Britannia, which will carry Her Majesty to Montreal, has old-style lavatories that empty directly into the waves.

The plot is equally classic: shipwrecked together on a beautiful mediterranean isle, the two characters reverse roles entirely. Proletarian Gennarino humiliates bourgeois Rafaella sadistically, avenging class oppression and affronts...
