Le bambole (US title: The Dolls; UK title: Four Kinds of Love) is a 1965 comedy anthology film in four segments, starring Gina Lollobrigida, Nino Manfredi, Elke Sommer, Jean Sorel, Monica Vitti, Virna Lisi and Akim Tamiroff.
The four vignettes—"The Telephone Call" ("La telefonata"), "Treatise on Eugenics" ("Il trattato di eugenetica"), "The Soup" ("La minestra"), and "Monsignor Cupid" ("Monsignor Cupido")—concern secrets of love and secret lovers.[1] The fourth segment is based on a tale of Boccaccio's The Decameron.[2]
