Le calde notti di Poppea (1969)



The busty and famous Poppea loves to seduce the Roman patricians to keep them firmly in hand.

Italian sandal slapstick comedy combines bad humor, wooden performances and lots of nudity to form a rather annoying movie.

Uccellacci e uccellini (1966)



Innocenti Totò and his son Innocenti Ninetto are drifting on a road in Italy, when they meet a Marxist speaking crow, so the trio travels together in a long journey as their hunger increases.

Unusual and entertaining comedy appears like a Christian with Marxist commentary, but shows its love for the poor and simple people with a hearty sense of humour.

Halliwell**: "A comic fable of a search for faith, sometimes reminiscent of Chaplin in its slapstick identification with the poor and dispossessed, of innocents abroad in a cynical world."
