About The Landlord
Giorgia and her sister inherit a villa and decide to turn it into a pension. When the sister orders the advertising, the brochure, together with the name, Pension Paradise, leads people to believe it is a whore house.
Directed by Mariano Laurenti, The Landlord leans on a strong ensemble — Gloria Guida, Fran Fullenwider, Lino Banfi — 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 comedy titles of 1976.
