The Eroticist (Italian: Nonostante le apparenze... e purchè la nazione non lo sappia... all'onorevole piacciono le donne, lit. 'Despite Appearances... and Provided the Nation Doesn't Know... The Senator Likes Women') is a 1972 Italian commedia sexy all'italiana film directed (and co-written) by Lucio Fulci. It had censorship problems and was banned shortly after its release. Later it was released in a heavily cut version and prohibited for persons under 18 years.
