Cinque per l'inferno (Five for Hell) (1969)
Dir. Gianfranco Parolini (Frank Kramer)
Starring: Gianni Garko (John Garko), Klaus Kinski (Klaus Kinski), Aldo Canti (etc...), Margaret Lee, Salvatore Borghese


So our friends turn us onto this movie --- this is a movie for you, they says --- this looks like something you'd watch, they says --- so, I says, is it good? I says --- eh ..., they says, you should watch it, they says.

So we watch it and at the end, I'm thinking "this is a movie for me?"

Well, they'd be right.

When it starts there are all these names like Addobati and Mancori and Bellecca and Micheli and then the director's name comes up:


Shut the f..., I says. Did they think that was an American name or what? Sure enough, because his real name is Gianfranco Parolini, also known sometimes as John Eastwood. E un maestro regista e molto creativo, si?

Too bad this tell-the-whole-movie Italian coming attraction doesn't include the kooky tap dance sequence (although it does feature the fantastic anachronistic music)(better even than Kelly's Heroes):



Trust me, that music will not leave your head for days. You have been warned.

By the way, ignore the ad for the xploitatedcinema site because I couldn't find it there. If you want to buy it go to Movies Unlimited. (Oh yeah, you'll want to buy it.)(Compri subito!)

Ciao.
