| description |
Armando Trovajoli has written one of his best
scores of his long artistic relationship with director Scola:
a mixture of Funky, Pop (mainly represented by a cool song sung
by Schola Cantorum) and very sad, romantic music themes performed
often by harmonica, choir and orchestra that oppose all the
grotesque, dark side of the story made of sad misfortunes only.
This score appears for the first time on CD digitally restored/remastered
from the original RCA stereo album master tape, including an
inedit alternate take of the main theme song, all approved by
M° Trovajoli himself. |

| story |
Down & Dirty was originally titled Brutti,
sporchi e cativi in Italy.
That translates literally to "dirty, nasty and bad",
in reference to the lower-class characters and surroundings
in this Ettore Scola film.
Scola zeroes in on a particularly offensive Roman family.
The stingy patriarch, Nino Manfredi, is personally wealthy but
morally bankrupt, and his repulsive view of life trickles down
to every member of his clan.
Not content with corrupting his own flesh and blood, Manfredi
spreads his philosophy throughout his village, where he functions
as slumlord.
By the time Manfredi's wife and sons begin plotting his murder,
the audience is ready for a long, cold shower, with plenty of
soap.
A bleak film heavily laden with humor, Down & Dirty won
Ettore Scola a Best Director award at the Cannes Film Festival.
Cast:
Nino Manfredi, Maria Luisa Santella, Francesco Anniballi,
