Fai In Fretta Ad Uccidermi... Ho Freddo! (aka Kill Me Quick I'm Cold) (1967)

A beautiful scam artist (Monica Vitti) passing herself off as rich tries to swindle a wealthy businessman (Jean Sorel). But when she discovers he's also a swindler trying to scam her, they decide to join forces by passing themselves off as brother and sister while they swindle the rich! Directed by Francesco Maselli, this silly and often incoherent "sting" comedy benefits by Vitti and Sorel in the lead roles. They're as attractive a pairing as anyone on the screen and this comedy needs all the help it can get. How many montages of Vitti and Sorel cavorting around and making love while bad 60s rock music plays on the soundtrack do we need? Apparently very frequently the film makers seem to think. Toward the end of the film, the movie cuts the laughs and become very serious and film noir-ish, hence the title which is as noir-ish as KISS ME DEADLY before it resumes the inane comedy. To be fair, the transfer I watched was dubbed into English from the Italian. Perhaps it played better in Italian but I suspect not. With Roberto Bisacco and Daniela Surina.
