L'Uomo Dagli Occhi Di Ghiaccio
The Man with the Icy Eyes could be Antonio Sabato, Victor Buono
or Keenan Wynn. We're pretty sure it isn't either Faith Domergue
or Barbara Bouchet.
This Italian melodrama weaves in elements of social commentary-at
least in the English-dubbed version.
A senator is murdered, and a young Mexican is accused of the
crime.
He didn't do it, but racial tensions run high in his community,
and it looks like he'll be found guilty.
We won't reveal any more, but we will wonder aloud why none
of the above-mentioned actors ever listed Man With the Icy Eyes
on his or her resume.
Cast:
Antonio Sabato, Barbara Bouchet, Faith Domergue, Corrado Gaipa,
Giovanni Petrucci, Joe Pollini, Bill Stevens, James Smith,
Phil Mead, Kurt Diamond, Victor Buono, Keenan Wynn

Un Uomo Dalla Pelle Dura
It was tax shelter time when Hollywood's Robert Blake and
Ernest Borgnine headed to Italy to star in Counter Punch.
Slimmer and lighter on his feet than he'd be in his Baretta
days, Blake plays a young boxer, accused of murdering his
crooked manager.
Escaping from detective Borgnine, Blake sets about to uncover
the real killer on his own.
Expect a lot of heavy duty fisticuffs, with Blake doing most
of his own stunt work.
Adding spice to the proceedings are distaff co-stars Gabrielle
Ferzetti and Catherine Spaak, the latter cast as the murder
victim's daughter.
Originally titled Un Uomo dalla Pelle Dura, Counter Punch
was also released as Ripped-Off.
Cast:
Robert Blake, Catherine Spaak, Ernest Borgnine, Gabriele Ferzetti,
Orazio Orlando, Phil Mead, Quinn Hurley, Neffie Quintana,
Luther Elmore, Emilio Messina, Joe Pollini, Gary Kanin
