Brian Denehy is both nouns in The Belly of an
Architect (1987). He's in Rome to work, which is the architecture
stuff, but he's also coming to terms with the fact that he's dying
of stomach cancer, which, obviously, is the belly--and what a
gut this dirty bum carries around with him so majestically. The
movie begins on a train where Denehy impregnates his wife Chloe
Webb, who shows off some hoot and then bum as she fools around
on Denehy and he peeks in through a keyhole later in the film.
Yes, this is not a happy marriage. But Denehy is no cuckold. This
architect builds a mighty erection when he hammers the full-frontal
beauty of Stefania Casini in an arty but hot seduction. By the
end of the movie, Denehy's baby is born, his marriage and career
are in ruins, but he got to stick it to Stefania. That's an even
trade-off.
Fast Forward
to: (1:15) Talk about beauty and the beast, Stefania opens her
white robe in a sun-drenched white room, exposing her dark, tangled
bush. She then pulls Denehy behind a white shade for a bit of
foreplay before he mounts her on a bright red couch, though a
pesky camera on a tripod obscures the equally randy and repellant
image.
