| With big pleasure Digitmovies continues to release the scores
of the awesome brothers Guido & Maurizio De Angelis by issuing
on CD for the first time complete and in full stereo the scores
from two funny late '70s comedy movies:
Tre Tigri Contro Tre Tigri is a movie in three episodes directed
in 1977 by Sergio Corbucci and Steno (Stefano Vanzina):
In the first episode with Renato Pozzetto, Cochi Ponzoni and
Massimo Boldi, Don Cimbolano (Pozzetto) is a parish priest
in a country town with a communist majority who sees his church
full of believers only after the fake news has been spread
that he had sexual intercourse with the wife of a protestant
priest (Ponzoni).
In the second episode starring Enrico Montesano and Dalila
Di Lazzaro, a commercial traveller (Montesano) is actually
a fugitive baited by an apparently noble and extremely libertine
young woman (Di Lazzaro), who in reality hides a candid camera
behind her advances.
In the third episode starring Paolo Villaggio, Anna Mazzamauro,
Daniele Vargas, Ferruccio Amendola, a lawyer (Villaggio) who
is getting scarred by means of transportation, is forced to
go through an incredible airplane experience.
Agenzia Riccardo Finzi... Praticamente Detective was directed
in 1979 by Bruno Corbucci starring Renato Pozzetto, Simona
Mariani, Lory Del Santo, Enzo Cannavale, Elio Zamuto.
The movie is based on the novel by Luciano Secchi, better
known as Max Bunker, which got released in 1978 and was the
first book of a series where the main protagonist is the detective
Riccardo Finzi.
Searching for luck in Milan, Riccardo Finzi (Pozzetto) is
a private eye who takes every opportunity he has to reveal
details about his job to everyone he meets.
One day he meets Susy (Del Santo) who first invites him in
her house and then turns him out of doors after having received
a mysterious phone call.
Later Finzi discovers through a newspaper about a girl found
dead and by her watch and shoes he recognizes that she's really
Suzy, who has been missing for some time.
The funny detective starts his first investigation with the
help of his faithful assistant Ciammarica (Cannavale), a retired
former carabiniere.
Cinevox Record had issued a 45 rpm single from Tre Tigri
Contro Tre Tigri and a 45 rpm single Agenzia Riccardo Finzi...
Praticamente Detective.
Originating from the stereo mastertapes archived at Cinevox,
our CD contains everything recorded for both movies.
For Tre Tigri Contro Tre Tigri the De Angelis brothers have
written pleasant folkloristic music like a dance floor tango
for saxophone (Tr. 1), a folkloristic waltz (Tr. 2), a classic
kind version of the main theme (Tr. 3) and other instrumental
variations, suspense music with Afro sound (Tr. 5), rhythmical
and fast rock music for a chase scene (Tr. 6),an exotic Afro-jazz
motif with Brubek style (Tr. 7), rhythmical orchestral music
with an epic flavour (Tr. 9).
For Agenzia Riccardo Finzi... Praticamente Detective the
De Angelis brothers have composed a funny main theme for the
detective with a '60s dance floor style (Tr. 1) reused with
variations in the OST (Tr. 13, Tr. 15, Tr. 17, Tr. 19, Tr.
21) and alternated with sexy music (Tr. 2), electronic suspense
music (Tr. 14, Tr. 18), a romantic-burlesque motif (Tr. 16)
and a wild theme with a Disco style for a chase scene (Tr.
20).
A note for the most demanding and insatiable audiophiles:
Some tracks from Agenzia Riccardo Finzi... Praticamente Detective
have a barely perceptible electronic background noise in the
high frequencies, but which cannot be eliminated due the fact
that this defect is present in the only DAT master available
at Cinevox.
We are sorry about this problem, but at least two deserving
OSTs have been rescued and preserved on CD. |
