A relatively obscure giallo, Head Down, Feet Up is another production which seems to cram in all sorts of social issues with a murderous sub-plot in the background which loosely holds everything together. A serial killer who specialises in killing teachers is on the loose and Andrea (Corrado Pani) becomes accidentally involved when he decides … Continue reading Head Down, Feet Up/Testa Giù, Gambe in Aria (1972)

A Ringside Seat: In Memory of Marino Girolami (2018)
19.09.2018 – Soriano nel Cimino, Italy It took almost a year to get it organised but we got there in the end... When I originally contacted Enzo, from the start I stressed the point that there's hardly any information available online about his father, Marino Girolami, and even less about his actor brother, Enio Girolami. … Continue reading A Ringside Seat: In Memory of Marino Girolami (2018)

White Horses of Summer/Bianchi Cavalli D’Agosto (1975)
Following his rather limited performance in 'The Balloon Vendor', child actor Renato Cestiè returns for his third outing in the genre, 'White Horses of August' (Export title: White Horses of Summer) this time supported by two stalwarts of high-brow (and low-brow) European cinema, Jean Seberg and Frederick Stafford. Tragically both actors died well before their … Continue reading White Horses of Summer/Bianchi Cavalli D’Agosto (1975)
The Balloon Seller/Il Venditore di Palloncini (1974)
Il Venditore di Palloncini' (Lit: The Balloon Seller) was distributed internationally under the title 'Last Moments'. Quite how director (and UFO expert) Mario Gariazzo managed to assemble such a talented cast is beyond me, but I suspect the topic of alcoholism (and acting drunk in particular) may have had something to do with it. … Continue reading The Balloon Seller/Il Venditore di Palloncini (1974)
Strappalacrime
“Money doesn’t buy happiness. But happiness isn’t everything” (Jean Seberg) Spanning a little less than a decade, the strappalacrime sub-genre (better known as tearjerkers to English speakers) is one of a lesser documented group of films from the 1970s which had their fleeting moment in the spotlight not just in Italy but also internationally. Released … Continue reading Strappalacrime
