Special Mission Lady Chaplin (Missione Speciale Lady Chaplin) (1966)


































  The story revolves around three main characters ; Lady Chaplin, an atelier owner and fashion stylist, Dick Malloy, an American secret agent, and Zoltan, a rich American specialized in submarine researches. The three characters will find themselves in a whirlwind of international espionage, money and high-class life!
  Alberto De Martino and Sergio Grieco direct this interesting piece of Eurospy. Considered by many the closest thing to James Bond, this film has fast pacing action and beautiful scenes running through its veins. Unlike most Italian Eurospy, this film has a more serious mood and carefully executed special effects. A must-see for James Bond wannabees!
  Ken Clark is the hefty Dick Malloy who everyone attempts to kill in every other scene; a role that suits him just fine might I say! Daniela Bianchi is his 'enemy' and lover spy, who many might remember from the James Bond movie From Russia with love. A fine couple but acting-wise and character-wise, they make you hope you had a romance like that. Deadly and fierce with a tune like that for a soundtrack!
Must watch this : on a shiny and cool autumn afternoon, with a double cappuccino and the company of a lady from another country! Feel like a spy boss dancing that sweet swinger with her with a cigarette in hand!

Perseus Against the Monsters (1963) a.k.a Perseo L'Invincibile


































  Perseus fights the monstrous Medusa, her army of stone warriors and a monstrous dragon while he tries to save his lover and set things right between his town and the tyrannical ruler of Argos.
  Part of the great Italian school of sword-and-sandal, this film tells the story of Greek demigod Perseus. Alberto De Martino directs this piece and he does a great work. Medusa could have been a lot better I must confess but hey it was the 60's and I guess money was not enough. The sets, although, are amazing (beautiful Mediterranean scenery all up your face) and so are the battles and fights.
  Richard Harrison plays the mighty Perseo and Anna Ranalli is his lovey-dovey Andromeda. Perseo will often appear semi-naked throughout the film. Do not be scared that as it probably the only way to portray his heroic status and omnipotent character. Nevertheless, the entire cast does a great job portraying the myth in their own Italian finesse style.
Must watch this :  with a Greek salad, some bread and a glass of ouzo (or sambucca...una faccia una razza). Watch this on a hot summer day and after the film head to the nearest beach and battle with your imaginary sea monsters.
