The Last Italian Tango (1973)
Director: Nando Cicero
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Supposedly comic adaptation of Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris which has its buffoonish hero beset by dominant females. It's terribly unfunny (the butter joke is pushed for all it's worth, and predictably it ends up being spread on bread), all the worse for sticking closely to the original (whole scenes are lifted) and trying to look like Bertolucci. The dubbing is bad as well. Bertolucci's film appears a comic masterpiece by comparison.Author:
