Teste di quoio

A group of terrorists hold an entire block of people living in one apt. Building. Some are having "affairs" and others are just normal. Unfortunately Ken Clark wears a TUTTOO and loves Ballet . It is so strange to see this great actor in such a silly role. I guess he needed the money badly. Action star Red Ross is one of the rescuers. I made a point of going to see this movie at the Italian Cinema a because Ken Clark was in it. Boy, was I surprised. I have put an 11 min. Version of the Ken Clark parts from this movie on Y/T.

I saw this film by chance many years ago on daytime TV in Italy and I laughed from beginning to end. Thinking back on it, I realise that it was no more than a series of sketches, with surreal visual gags that may not even have been very original, but at the time it did crack me up. The Italian dialogue was done with various regional accents, which made it funnier and it was a nice and welcome difference from the non-existing, theatre-trained perfect Italian of dubbed Hollywood films. Unfortunately, after chancing upon this film so long ago, I've never come across it ever again and it's a shame. Maybe I wouldn't enjoy it now the way I did then, but for nostalgia's sake I would still love to see it again.
