SEVEN GOLDEN MEN (1965, Anamorphic) Philippe Leroy, Rossana Podesta, Gastone Moschin, Maurice Poli, Gabrieli Tinti. One of the best intrigue/caper movies ever! Delightful is the perfect word to describe this film that is full of sci-fi gimmicks, plot twists, slick and not-so-slick criminals, and gorgeous dames. Podesta is a 100% bona fide KNOCKOUT! Leroy is fantastic as the suave criminal mastermind who instigates a plot to steal seven million pounds from an “impenetrable” bank vault. There isn’t a wasted moment in this film, which sports a wonderful music score. A definite must. Beautiful color, from 35mm.
002—OPERATION MOON (1965, Anamorphic Widescreen) Franco Franchi, Ciccio Ingrassia, Mónica Randall. Franco and Ciccio (the Martin and Lewis of Italy) are actually pretty funny. They have a certain shtick that works. The boys are sent into space to imitate a pair of lost Soviet spacemen. They fly near the moon and at one point jump into space (hanging from wires) in a vein suicide attempt. One of the high points is when they discover the remains of the first doggie cosmonaut, its little doggie skull still inside its doggie space helmet. Franco’s hat winking is a scream! Not bad. English subs. 35mm.
