L'Ultimo Squalo
L'ultimo squalo (The Great White) is a 1981 movie directed by Enzo G. Castellari, an Italian reply to the horror genre dedicated to shark movies, a trend that started a few years before with Spielberg's Jaws. In our movie, we have an enormous white shark disrupting the summer of a coastal city in Georgia, in a crescendo of tension and horror that will end in a terrible 1-on-1 between the monster and Peter Benton (James Franciscus), protagonist of the movie and unwitting shark hunter. The music w…
Il Gatto (Colonna Sonora Originale Del Film)
“Il Gatto” (The Cat) is a 1977 film, a comedy often tinged with detective story elements that tells about two brothers, played by Ugo Tognazzi (Amedeo Pegoraro) and Mariangela Melato (Ofelia Pegoraro), who cynically do everything they can to get a building they own cleared of all its tenants in order to sell it for a profitable sum.
