"The Birds, the Bees and the Italians" is a 1965 Italian film directed by Pietro Germi. Its original Italian title is "Signore & Signori", which means 'Ladies and Gentlemen'.
The film is a sex comedy that presents three storylines, all set in the Italian town of Treviso. In the first story, a husband pretends to be impotent as a cover for having an affair. In the second, bank clerk abandons his wife for his mistress, but the rest of the town's husbands become jealous and unite to conspire against them. In the third, men of the town all try to seduce a promiscuous teenager, but her father eventually reveals that she is underage.
