Quote:
Five men have been business partners for decades. After years of working on the streets they pooled their money and purchased a night club that attracted a decent clientele. But their best days came after they remodeled the club into a gambling house. They kept the tiny dancing hall, but worked diligently to earn a reputation as a safe destination for seasoned gamblers. Their profits were small but steady and over time all of them were able to increase their savings. Now they have a great opportunity to finally make enough and retire. Another veteran player has offered to sell them a very large shipment of drugs at a heavily discounted price because he needs to move on to another deal that requires him to leave the country. The payment that he is asking for is big, but if they pool their savings again they can do it. Once the product is delivered, they will quickly unload it on the streets and each of them will quadruple his initial investment.That’s when the problems begin

The post Marc Allégret – Félicie Nanteuil aka Twilight (1945) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Italy 1973. Giuseppe Tritoni (Ugo Tognazzi) is an ultra-right-wing congressman that doesn’t agree anymore with his fascist party policy. He contacts many Italian Army officers and built a net of relationship in order to organize a Coup d’Etat (Golpe). Something goes wrong and the Interior Minister (Home Secretary) Mr. Li Masi (Lino Pugliesi) got the all information about the attempted Golpe. So the Minister organizes a counter-Golpe.

Quote:
This is a very sharp political satire about mid-1970s Italy. It’s from that period of Italian film in which, alongside the overtly political filmmaking (mostly made famous by committed auteurs such as Petri, Rosi, Bellocchio, etc.), films belonging to old and new genres (commedia all’italiana, spaghetti western, poliziottesco) start being affected by the tragic and unique socio-political situation the country is in, and acquire a political dimension. Traditionally escapist cinema increasingly starts including overtones of a political nature, with open or hidden references to actual events. This is the case with “Vogliamo I Colonnelli”, which deals with not one but two attempted coups d’etat that were actually planned in Italy between 1964 and 1970 and almost put into being, but failed for reasons that are still not entirely clear. Monicelli of course interprets the events in pure “commedia all’italiana” style, mocking the entire Italian army and its senile top echelons, and once again exposing the opportunism and amateurishness of the Italian character. A spaghetti-golpe, in which the unprofessionalism of the conjurers is the main object of derision and contempt. Tognazzi is having a ball, and as usual steals the show… The title is an obvious reference to the military coup that took place in Greece in 1967, after which the country was ruled by the so-called “Colonels Junta” for a total of 7 years.

Letterboxd review
★★★½ Watched by Reza Said 04 Sep 2021

Deported (Robert Siodmak, 1950) 7/10

Atmospheric B-movie is very loosely based on events in the life of Lucky Luciano. An Italian-American gangster (Jeff Chandler) is deported to Italy after spending five years in jail for a robbery in New York. The tough, cynical man finds that the local people in his village look up to him, the street urchins love him and the local Countess (Märta Torén), a widow, is enamoured of him and likes his company. A local cop (Claude Dauphin) is suspicious and lies await for the crook to get the stolen loot across from America. Siodmak, back in Europe after many years in Hollywood, creates an interesting little film which also turns out to be an Italian travelogue with scenes shot by the great William Daniels in Naples, Siena and Tuscany. There is great chemistry between Chandler and Märta Torén while lovely Marina Berti adds to the local colour.

Plot:
In this adaptation of Graham Greene’s prophetic novel about U.S. foreign policy failure in pre-war Indochina, Audie Murphy plays an innocent Young American opposite the older, cynical Brit Michael Redgrave. They play out their widely different views on the prospects stuggle for the hearts and minds of the Vietnamese people in their competition over a young woman. Murphy wants to reform her and make her a typical middle class American housewife; Redgrave accepts her inability to formulate or retain a political ideal and while promising her no real future, he objects to Murphy’s attempts to change her. It’s not clear whether Murphy is just what he appears – a bungling Yankee do-gooder – or a deliberate agent of U.S. covert operations, but he ends up an expendable pawn in the end.
