synopsis
Sophia Loren stars in this screen adaptation of the popular Italian operetta "Il Paese del Campanelli" by Lombardo Ranzato. In a small town by the sea, there is an unusual tradition -- each home has a bell on the door, which rings only when the lady of the house has been unfaithful to her husband. All has been quiet in the town for many years, but when a ship from France pulls into port and the crew see the many beautiful women who call the village their home, things soon get a good bit noisier. Ces Voyous D'Hommes also features Mario Riva and Carlo Dapporto.
