	EUFS: Seven Beauties (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Pasqualino Frafuso or as he is commonly known "Pasqualino Seven Beauties" (Giancarlo Giannini) is a Napolitan who lives at the expense of his sister's work.
		Seven Beauties provides a truly incomparable treatment of serious themes in a satirical tragi-comic manner which typical to Wertmuller's style is often uncomfortable to watch.
		She intelligently operates with flashbacks juxtaposing the bitterly funny incidents in Naples with the atrocities of the Nazis in the concentration camps caustically criticising the abominable state which Pasqualino has reached in order to maintain the honour of his family.

		The most beautiful woman, Turknaz, is withheld from him, and after the month passes he demands that he be permitted to have her.
		The shah then sees a beautiful maidservant from China, but the seller warns him that she is very proud and will in no way obey the desires of a man. Still, he buys the maidservant.
		The Iranians beauty's story compels the shah to think of pure spirit, spotless morals, sense of shame, and chastity, as well as the other merits and demerits of human nature.

	Seven Beauties (Haft Paykar), a story about Bahram-e Goor, the sassanian king, by Nezami
		Upon entering, he finds himself surrounded by the most exquisite walls, decorated by portraits of seven women all depicted in the state of gazing at a man. He views each portrait for a while and falls in love with the woman it depicts.
		Bahram knew that he would not be able to attain the pleasure of the company of the seven princesses awaiting his royal presence, if he were to lose the contest.
		The second translation is in 1976, as The Story of the Seven Princesses and the third is The Haft Paykar: A Medieval Persian Romance by Julie Scott Meisami.

	SEVEN SWEDISH BEAUTIES AND ONE IRISH DWARF
		Once upon a time seven swedish, blond, busty and fit while managing not to be overly muscular, beauties lived in a cottage in the woods.
		It was a quiet life, consisting only of regular runs and evening swims, in order to keep fit and attractive in the hope that one day they may encounter a specimen of that bizarre species known as male who would father their children.
		Upon returning from an archaeological expedition up in the mountains (for these females were more than beauties they had minds as well, to be sure, and they had to earn a living, the bills don’t pay themselves) the swedish beauties found the door to their cottage ajar.

		Seven Beauties is a movie about a guy who does sacrifice, and survive, during World War II -- but there’s not a thing heroic about his story.
		Seven Beauties was directed by Lina Wertmuller, who was also responsible for Love and Anarchy, and the great 1974 film Swept Away.
		Seven Beauties is possibly every bit as outrageous, tasteless, and provocative as Swept Away was.

		How did I feel about “Seven Beauties?” It had offended and delighted me. I went into a nearby café and had a cup of coffee, thought about Giancarlo Giannini and Shirley Stoler and concluded that there was nothing in my experience that resembled either of the two.
		“Seven Beauties” begins with a collage of WWII news reels — posturing Mussolini, ranting Hitler, bombs exploding, air raids, mass executions, marching armies, and political speeches.
		“Seven Beauties,” we learn, is the nick-name of Pasqualino Frafuso (Giannini), a petty criminal from Naples — a man with seven, homely, unwed sisters.

	Seven Beauties by Richard Astle
		But what is presented in such beautifully photographed and composed footage, with such grace and humor, is a particular story with a particular message and moral content that we need to expose and examine if we are not to be aesthetically seduced and politically betrayed.
		He is a particular individual in a particular historical setting, left in prewar Naples at the head of a family of seven sisters and a mother, who run a mattress factory while he patrols the streets flirting with women and playing status games with other men.
		In SEVEN BEAUTIES, too, we are presented with only two unacceptables: suicidal protest and abject survivalism.

	filmcritic.com Movie Review: Seven Beauties (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Pasqualino ends up killing one of his sisters' (the beauties) boyfriends, winds up in prison, transfers to the loony bin, and finally escapes by agreeing to enlist in Mussolini's rising Italian army.
		Seven Beauties is perhaps best remembered for two scenes: First, the opening credits, which plays a unique, jazzy tune about the depravity of humanity, punctuated with the refrain "Oh yeah..." -- which stock photos of Mussolini and other infamous faces and moments from history.
		If you're among the many legions of fans who think Roberto Benigni's Life Is Beautiful is the pinnacle of filmmaking, you owe it to yourself to check out Seven Beauties, which clearly influenced it in a major way.

		The young ruler, seduced by the mysterious world of the seven beauties, has forgotten his love for Sheyda.
		Like seven colors of the rainbow, the seven beauties have pitched their seven magic tents before the shah, and in each tent, a mysterious seductive temptation awaits the shah.
		The vizier, suspecting that his end might be near, tries in vain to place Bahram Shah under his spell again by reviving his recollection of the seven beauties.

		A palace with seven domes is built for Bahram's seven brides, and he goes from one to the next, hearing the princesses' tales.
		Meisami is to be commended for presenting the entire text, including the opening chapters that include an Invocation, a chapter "On the Cause of the Work's Composition,", and "The Poet's Advice to his Son." The story proper only begins in the ninth chapter.
		There are, towards the end of the book, also seven more tales which Bahram hears upon his return to his kingdom.

	ToxicUniverse.com - Lina Wertmuller - 1976 - Seven Beauties Movies Review
		Seven Beauties is a well-constructed journey into the life of an Axis-occupied Italy during World War II.
		In contrast, the structure of Seven Beauties allows for provocative contemplation of a no-win position, a far more interesting emotional build.
		In the case of Seven Beauties, her mixture of past and present retains a poignant unpredictability for Pasqualino’s struggles, allowing you to want him to win while stressed at the quite possible reality that he may not.

		I warn my students that there are probably few works that would check positive for all the Seven Beauties, which leaves them considerable leeway in investigating the texts.
		Of the Seven, there is (at the moment at least) probably little disagreement about the first three.
		The final category, parable, is also fairly obvious, although people may differ in what importance they wish to ascribe to it (which is true of all the Beauties in question).

		Lina Wertmuller is a great director and she tells his multi-layered story in a very unique and beautiful way.
		The film has some horrific moments and the situations are not at all pretty; a man committing suicide by jumping into a vat of excrement, Pasqualono chopping up a corpse and making submissive love to a disgusting concentration camp commander.
		But the film is also picturesque and with some beautiful sequences, the beginning and ending sequences are brilliant.

		The scrappy, unlikely hero is Pasqualino Frafuso call Pasqualino Seven Beauties (Pasqualino Settebellezze) whom we first see with a companion lost in the woods.
		Pasqualino’s companion says they must try to stop it: “in the face of certain things you’ve got to say no.” But Pasqualino says it is “useless suicide.” He says he has said “yes” to Mussolini and has killed for no reason.
		Pasqualino is called Seven Beauties partly because of his group of sisters and apparently because of his affinity for the ladies.

	Lina Wertmuller
		Wertmuller's satirical thrust was so broad that both feminists and anti-feminists, liberals and conservatives flocked to her films.
		Her male characters were not much more sympathetic, but their broad, macho posturing and chauvinism was tempered by the Chaplinesque pathos of Giannini's performances -- particularly his pathologically comic Pasqualino in SEVEN BEAUTIES.
		With her 1976 Oscar nomination for directing SEVEN BEAUTIES, Wertmuller became the first woman to be nominated in that category.

		As the unshaven, messy misanthrope Walter Eckland, a World War II-era beach bum who monitors Japanese air activity for the Australian navy in exchange for booze, Grant makes a convincingly hard-bitten, hard-drinking antihero.
		Until, that is, a pretty French schoolmistress (Leslie Caron) and her seven little charges (all girls) survive a nearby plane crash and invade Eckland's raunchy isolation.
		Directed by 1960s hit-maker Ralph Nelson (The Lilies of the Field, Charly), Father Goose is a glossy comedy that also does justice to its more suspenseful scenes (a deadly snakebite suffered by Caron's character is especially memorable) and leaves plenty of room for Grant to indulge in some entertaining if atypical screen behavior.
