He is best known for his erotic epics, Salon Kitty, The Key & Caligula, which was a collaboration with celebrated author Gore Vidal, Franco Rossellini & Penthouse magazine publisher Bob Guccione.

DVD Extras

DVD Extras: Brass certainly knows how to make the best of a location & there are some exceptionally beautiful shots of Venice to be found among the carnal adventures. The extras include a filmography & photo gallery as well as a low quality but telling interview with the director, during which he expounds on a rather strange theory regarding women's bottoms & the fact that, unlike their faces, they cannot lie.
Editorial DVD Review
[Top]
With its stars bottom looming large on the cover, erotic adventure All Ladies Do It is clearly the work of Italian director Tinto Brass. It is another tale of a young woman & her quest to fulfil her sexual desires, in this case Claudia Kolls Diane, who embarks on a series of casual affairs much to the interest of husband Paul who, assuming that her tales are merely the product of an active imagination, finds himself aroused by their content. In the meantime, Diane is increasing her circle of lovers before a trip to Venice threatens to bring her dual life crashing down.
The plot is frankly secondary to Brass appreciation of the female form & it all becomes a little ludicrous. The original Italian title is derived from Mozarts comic opera but, unlike the operas convoluted sexual politics, here there is only a rather confused attempt at expressing a quasi-feminist message about female independence. All Ladies Do It is best viewed as a piece of glossy titillation & nothing more.
