Comedy is one of the more difficult genres to grasp internationally as every country has their own brand of humor. British comedy is usually pretty dry and heavily laced with sarcasm, Spanish comedy seems to find adults dressing up a children highly amusing, and Italians seem to be heavily involved in comedies centered around sexual escapades; at least such was the case in the 60's and 70's. Casanova '70 is easily one of the tamer Italian comedies of this era and undoubtedly one of the better written ones as well.
Definitely one of Mell's most stylish and wonderful movies. You did an excellent job with your review. So far I've reviewed ten of her movies on my blog (excerpts from the biography I'm writing about her and her films), but I've left out this one so far. Thank you so much for sharing!
ReplyDelete@marisamell - I'd love to read your book when it's finished! Please do let me know when it's done or published. I own the book about Marisa written by one of her friends, unfortunately it's in German which I do not read. Planning on scanning the pages and attempting a software translation, haven't had the time yet.
