In La Signora Gioca Bene A Scopa? Michele (Giuffrè)
is a stubborn poker game player who manages a shoe-shop in
Parma.
As a solution to his continous and huge gambling losses, he
supplements his earnings with paid sexual performances by
his female customers.
The economical crisis is so big that Michele needs further
help for his activities:
Tonino (Delle Piane),the shop assistant, helps him out and
very soon becomes the favourite of one of his wild female
customers.
Alessandro Alessandroni has written an amusing OST where
he alternates a funny theme performed by Edda Dell'Orso with
an erotic falsetto voice and introduced in Titoli Di Testa
(Tr. 1).
It gets reprised with delicious variations in Tr. 2, Tr. 4,
Tr. 6, Tr. 9, Tr. 12, Tr. 14 and in a slow funeral-like symphonic
reprise for the cemetery scene (Tr. 15).
This then gets alternated with a romantic love theme with
latin flavour in Tr. 5, Tr. 8, Tr. 10, Tr. 11, Tr. 13, Tr.
16, Tr. 18 and with mystic music for strings (Tr. 7).
In L'Infermiera the owner of a winery, Leonida Bottacin (Pisu),
who has recently become a widower, suffers a heart attack
during a sexual act with the wife of the caretaker of the
cemetery where his wife Ramona is buried.
The man's relatives try to cause a second, fatal heart attack
to the man so they can inherit the goods of the winery and
to sell it all to the American businessman Mr. Kitch (Jack
Palance).
To realize this, the son-in-law Benito (Del Prete) calls his
past lover Anna (Andress), a very sexy woman who will have
to be Leonida's nurse so that the man will suffer a deadly
heart attack.
At the end the girl grows fond of the sick man and after having
foiled the family's diabolical plan, she marries him, but
during the honeymoon the old man suffers his second and lethal
heart attack so that the girl will become the only heiress
of his huge patrimony.
For this pleasant Italian erotic comedy, where (may it be
by coincidence) Ursula Andress and Luciana Paluzzi, the unforgettable
Bond girls of the Connery era, appear together, Gianfranco
Plenizio has written an elegant OST where a romantic love
theme for trumpet, solo female voice and orchestra is featured,
introduced in Tr. 20, then reprised in Tr. 25, Tr. 28, Tr.
30, Tr. 32, alternated with a second cheerful motif with a
folk flavour (Tr. 21, Tr. 22, Tr. 26, Tr. 29), with a third
brilliant motif Tr. 24, Tr. 31) and with American-flavoured
music for the character of Mr.Kitch (Tr. 23). |
