Comedic genius Steve Martin beings a sophisticated literary sensibility to this outrageously funny adaptation of Carl Sternheim’s German classic. The Underpants recounts the trials that befall a young housewife after she exposes herself to the townspeople of her small village inciting a public scandal. her newfound celebrity status awakens the passions of some determined new suitors intent on making their way into her home — and her affections — much to the dismay of her suspicious, overbearing husband.
