Background: THE ITALIAN FILM STAR, GINA LOLLOBRIGIDA WAS QUESTIONED FOR TWO HOURS IN PRIVATE BY A ROME MAGISTRATE TODAY (TUESDAY) IN CONNECTION WITH ALLEGATIONS OF OBSCENITY IN HER LATEST FILM "LE BAMBOLE" ("THE DOLLS)".THE MAGISTRATE WILL DECIDE LATER WHETHER COURT ACTION SHOULD BE BROUGHT AGAINST HER.
WEARING A WHITE SUMMER DRESS WITH A GARDENIA, PEARL NECKLACE AND STRAW HAT, THE ACTRESS WAS ACCOMPANIED TO THE LAW COURTS BY HER LAWYER, SIGNOR EMAUELE GOLINO, WHO LATER SAID: "SHE HAS ALL FAITH IN THE COURTS OF JUSTICE.SHE DOES NOT FEEL SHE HAD DONE ANYTHING WRONG EXCEPT TAKE PART IN A FILM DIRECTED BY A GOOD DIRECTOR."
THE ALLEGATIONS OF OBSCENITY ARISE FROM CLAIMS THAT MISS LOLLOBRIGIDA APPEARS NUDE IN A SCENE OF "LE BAMBOLE".SHE PLAYS A HOTEL KEEPER WHO SEDUCES THE INNOCENT NEPHEW OF A PRELATE IN ROME FOR THE VATICAL ECUMENICAL COUNCIL.
MISS LOLLOBRIGIDA IS REPORTED TO HAVE DENIED THAT SHE ACTUALLY APPEARED NUDE IN THE FILM, AND CLAIMED THAT SHE WAS WEARING A CLOSE-FITTING FLESH-COLOURED GARMENT.THE DIRECTOR OF "LE BAMBOLE" SIGNOR MAURO BOLOGNINI, HAS YET TO BE QUESTIONED BY THE MAGISTRATE.
