From the liner notes

The Voyeur, based on the famous erotic novel "L'uomo che guarda" by Alberto Moravia, tells the story of Eduardo "Dodo," who in public is a professor of French literature but in private a desperately lovesick cuckold, married to the ever-more-elusive Silvia. His life shattered, he becomes an onlooker rather than a participant in life. Those around him, though, seem to be living life to the fullest: his bedridden father has a scantily clad nurse and a series of lady friends; his students have unending sexual fun, sometimes in his presence; and even the public beach has become an orgy ground. Through a series of small revelations, Dodo slowly comes to realize who his rival is. The discovery, rather than destroying his marriage, strengthens and renews it.

Erotic filmmaker Tinto Brass is here at the height of his powers, crafting an unforgettable fable of sexual desire. The music by Riz Ortolani is seductive, the sets and designs are sumptuous, and the photography is as stunning Hitchcock's. The lead performers, Francesco Casale and Katarina Vasilissa (a Polish photomodel) are both eye-catching.

Review

King of the ass shot, Tinto Brass, delivered this wallop of a sex comedy that's loosely about a cuckolded university professor. Brass devotes most of the running time to panning the camera over the very naked bodies of Cristina Garavaglia, Raffaella Offidani and Katarina Vasilissa and treats the audience to such naughty delights like cigars inserted into vaginas, asshole shots (as well as bush, boobs and buns) and some pretty graphic sex. Beware the tamer Producer's Cut that other retailers carry.
