I saw it at the New Yorker theater around 1971 and thought it was hilarious. Of Rossellini's late films, I've only seen <B>Blaise Pascal</B> and <B>Rise of Louis XiV</B> which I loved and saw twice theatrically.Peter Nellhaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04161286159856159772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10161060.post-40645100254272008252007-11-28T08:39:00.000-05:002007-11-28T08:39:00.000-05:00If you're able to get your hands on it, Jacques Lo...If you're able to get your hands on it, Jacques Lourcelles' DICTIONNAIRE DU CINÉMA has some great things on Comencini and Risi (what he writes about Comencini's PINOCCHIO and INCOMPRESO should certainly be placed right up there with best stuff ever written about this director). There's also very good stuff on Freda, Monicelli, Scola, Cottafavi, Matarazzo, Nanni Loy, and even a very positive (if small) review on some films directed by italian actors. He places the works of Sordi, Gassman and Tognazzi very highly.bruno andradehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01095044358084108887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10161060.post-35369485350556333732007-11-20T14:17:00.000-05:002007-11-20T14:17:00.000-05:00Genre/cult films from the 1960s seem to be on the ...<I>Genre/cult films from the 1960s seem to be on the right track, but I'd like to see more out there in this amazing marketplace where everything is (supposedly) available</I><BR/><BR/>Agreed! I've found that it usually takes a somewhat popular book like Pete Tombs' Immoral Tales or lots of press in magazines, chatter on film boards, etc. to spark interest in particular genre films which leads to them getting released on DVD and the bloggers writing about them, etc.<BR/><BR/>A book about Italian sex comedies for instance would probably spark more interest in the genre.<BR/><BR/>I'm personally really interested in Italian spy films and unusual heist/crime movies, which are often incredibly hard to get a hold of. Of course, if I could understand Italian I'd be better off since some things are available on DVD in Europe without subtitles.<BR/><BR/>I'd also love to see more gialli get released on DVD, but the market for it seems to have hit a dry spell. Hopefully that will change soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
