| EUROPEAN TRASH CINEMA |
| |
| Gian Maria Volonte, Tomas Milian, Ray Lovelock |
| Previous versions of this film (reviewed in ETC #15) looked like shit and were fake letterboxed |
| to boot!! Gee, I wonder who would do such a thing? Well, here's a great looking english |
| language copy that is letterboxed for real!! Carlo Lizzani's epic crime film starring Tomas Milian |
| as a cop in charge of a massive manhunt for 4 violent bank robbers. Gian Maria Volonte and |
| John Saxon, Tomas Milian, Maurizio Merli |
| Here's where Umberto Lenzi thrives, in the Crime film genre! Stars John Saxon, Maurizio Merli, |
| Tomas Milian and in a sleazy actioner |
| Tomas Milian, Eli Wallach |
| For fans of the Nico Giraldi series (see ETC #11 for details), here's another entry that is |
| appearing in English for the first time. Nico (Tomas Milian) robs a racetrack and gets sent to |
| prison. He's allowed to escape where he hightails it to America (Little Italy, NY to be exact) and |
| works his way into the local Mafia. His undercover mission is to capture the local Don (Eli |
| Wallach) and exonerate the bad reputation of the Italian police. Directed by Bruno Corbucci |
| (who unfortunately died on September 7th of this year). |
| Tomas Milian, Luc Merenda, Delia Boccardo |
| Military men are dying in mysterious accidents. Meanwhile, a police inspector (Luc Merenda) |
| hunts down a prostitute who may be involved in a mobster's murder. Merenda uncovers a |
| conspiracy between a police undercover squad and the military. Terrific crime film by Sergio |
| Martino with tinges of paranoia and pessimism mixed in. The video is letterboxed and co-stars |
| Tomas Milian, Mel Ferrer, and Delia Boccardo |
| Tomas Milian, Jack Palance |
| This Nico (Tomas Milian) Giraldi crime adventure was released here in a TV censored, pan and |
| scan version. Here it is, uncut and letterboxed! Giraldi is an unconventional cop who uses tough |
| methods to capture the scum of Milan. He's after Shelly (Jack Palance), a crooked diplomat |
| who's also a crime boss, and at the same time Giraldi is trying to uncover a ring of thieves and |
| fences. While later films in the series became silly, this one retains the hard edge that made |
| Italian crime films so popular. Directed by Bruno Corbucci. |

|
Luc Merenda, Tomas Milian, Katia Christine |
|
Letterboxed print. Luc Merenda plays a cop who opens the film by massacring a gang of |
|
kidnappers (I guess in Italy you don't have to read them their rights before you mow them |
|
down). Then, when he discovers the Police Commissioner was murdered, he really goes off the |
|
deep end! He teams up with an underworld figure (Tomas Milian) and together they track down |
|
the ones responsible. Stelvio Massi directs and Katia Christine plays the love interest. |
|
Tomas Milian, Marlene Jobert, Michel lonsdale |
|
Excellent thriller by director Yves Boisset about a former mental patient (Marlene Jobert) who is |
|
hired as a governess. Before long she becomes the focal point of a kidnap and murder |
|
conspiracy plot masterminded by her supposed benefactor (Michel Lonsdale) who uses a |
|
vicious killer (Tomas Milian) to carry it through. Filled with black humor, this one keeps you on |
|
the edge of your seat throughout |
|
Tomas Milian, Claudio Cassinelli |
|
Letterboxed print. One of Lenzi's better but more obscure crime films, now available in a wide |
|
screen print. Claudio Cassinelli is a tough cop who goes to prison undercover to recruit a con |
|
(TOmas Milian) to help with a case he's working on. Tough and violent, it features that patented |
|
urban gritty musical score. |
|
Tomas Milian, David Hemmings, Anna cardini |
|
One of Tomas Milian's best entries in the Nico Giraldi series as he plays a Milan undercover cop |
|
who is almost as bad as the people he arrests. David Hemmings co-stars as an Interpol agent |
|
who reluctantly teams up with Milian to catch some international crooks. Anna Cardini co-stars |
|
Tomas Milian, Martin Balsalm, Francisco Rabal |
|
One of the better Italo-crime films featuring Tomas Milian as a promising lawyer who owes his |
|
career to the Mafia. It is now time to pay back that help by getting a notorious Mobster off a |
|
murder charge. A great musical score by Riz Ortolani and taut direction by Alberto Martino |
|
makes this film a joy to watch. Dagmar Lssander, Martin balsalm and francisco Rabal co-star |
|
|
Tomas Milian, Pierre Clementi, Katia Christine |
|
Beautiful widescreen print. This is director Maurizio Lucidi's spirited seventies take on |
|
Hitchcock's STRANGERS ON A TRAIN. Milian plays a commercials director who wants to sell his |
|
business so he can run off with his mistress (Katia Christine who supplies ample nudity). Only |
|
problem is that his shrewish wife says no and she controls the shares. He meets a very rich |
|
and decadent young man (Pierre Clementi who promises to kill his wife if he will kill his brother. |
|
This is a great example of an obscure Italian thriller that is a perfect blend of direction, musical |
|
score (by Luis Bacalov), and locale (the canals of Venice). Highly recommended |
|
Tomas Milian, Adrianna Russo |
|
Letterboxed print. One of Fulci's lesser known films (probably because previous copies looked |
|
so bad!), but no doubt it's one of his best. Set in the past, a young girl is so abused by her |
|
father (including beatings and rape) that she hires a young man (Tomas Milian) to help her kill |
|
dear old Dad. It turns out to be an ordeal as the old fucker refuses to go quietly and the entire |
|
family has to pitch in and help. Eventually they are all caught, tortured and put to death. God I |
|
just love a happy ending. |
|
Tomas Milian, William Berger |
|
This is an extremely unsettling film, like an Italian version of INVASION OF THE BODY |
|
SNATCHERS. It centers on the recently widowed Tomas Milian whose son claims he has been |
|
playing with his dead mother. Soon after Milian catches glimpses of her and others who have |
|
recently died. They have no knowledge of their recent past lives and refer to themselves as |
|
lights who come from faraway. William Berger also stars as a father who will do anything to |
|
restore his dead daughter back to life |
|
Tomas Milian, Richard Wyler |
|
Letterboxed print. Finally, an excellent quality copy of this superb Spaghetti western starring |
|
Tomas Milian. Richard Wyler plays a loner who unfortunately drifts into town that is being |
|
terrorized by Milian and his gang. One of the best musical scores in the genre by Stelvio |
|
Cipriani is also featured. Highly recommended for western lovers. |
