Messalina, Messalina! (1977)



Sex comedy/Peplum. Italy. Starring Anneka Di Lorenzo, Tomas Milian, Vittorio Caprioli, Salvatore Borghese, Lori Wagner & Raf Luca. Directed by Bruno Corbucci.

VCI (Greece). English dubbed. Widescreen.

Lifeaffirming, playful, sensual comedy in toga and sandals from the acclaimed director of When Women Played Ding Dong and other subtle comic masterpieces that would make Jacques Tati green of envy... or maybe not. This lowbrow tits-'n-farts romp actually surprised me by being pretty funny (albeit in a retarded way) and fully watchable! Milian is great fun as always and the over-the-top Peter Jackson-style bloodbath near the end sure came as a nice surprise out of nowhere! If I didn't know better i'd say i've just given a Bruno Corbucci comedy a mild recommendation... you may kill me now. 3/5

When Women Played Ding Dong (1971)



Original title: Quando gli Uomini Armarono la Clava e... Con le Donne Fecero Din-Don

Sex comedy/Fantasy. Italy. Starring Antonio Sabato, Gisela Hahn, Nadia Cassini, Howard Ross, Lucretia Love & Aldo Giuffrè. Directed by Bruno Corbucci (who else?).

Miracle Video (Holland). English dubbed. Fullscreen.

This downright retarded stoneage slapstick sex comedy is like When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth on horse tranquilizers. Proceed with extreme caution! The stoneage rock band and Antonio Sabata's Iron Maiden-wig has got to be seen though... 1/5
