About Cathouse '45
Upon returning from the Second World War, two brothers in arms decide to stop at a brothel to celebrate their homecoming. After years on the front lines, their sexual appetite is more consuming than ever. Tonino, the shyer of the two, is hesitant about the excursion while his American friend Pierre can't constrain his enthusiasm. The plot thickens when Tonino discovers that his beautiful fiancée whose picture he has kept through years of battle is the brothel's most prized beauty! This is perhaps Italy's most ambitious adult film ever, shot in 3D, with a cast of Europe's greatest performers. All is fair in love and war, especially at Cathouse '45!
Directed by Marcus Dolby, Cathouse '45 leans on a strong ensemble — Vittoria Risi, Fiamma Monti, Franco Trentalance — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about war titles of 2011.
