Mariangela Melato stars as Fulvia Bolk, a self-made tycoon interested in ecological preservation. She is fed up with the terrorists who are poaching Italy’s natural beauty, and as part of a crazy retaliation scheme she hires a former CIA agent to abduct the number-one violator, Giuseppe “Beppe” Catania and hold him for ransom.

This is Wertmüller operating under her typical wheelhouse and doing a damn fine job of presenting a solid entry into her oeuvre. Taking a brief glimpse of her career, this was something of a return to her eternal wellsprings after branching into other genres and narratives. Nothing wrong with that, how often has Martin Scorsese return to the gangster epic, so long as it offers something new. Mainly, it comes in the form of that” read more
