Frankenstein: Italian Style
Yes, we know that the expression 'Italian-style' is not always used
with a positive meaning. And probably never as in this case does it
embody its meaning of 'done lightly', 'superficially'. Well... let's
face it: to the fucking.
Armando Crispino, with a screenplay by Massimo Franciosa and Luisa
Montagnana, throws himself into the wake of Young Frankenstein trying
to make his own version of it. Italian-style. Already the fact of
following in the wake of a film that is a parody, to make another
parody and above all to follow one of the masterpieces of comedy
cinema of all time, reveals that this is a bad idea.
As if that weren't enough, the story itself is a monster that takes
bits and pieces here and there and ties them together with
Italian-style without reaching any interesting peaks. Not even
that.
It has to be said that Crispino manages to put together a good cast
starting with Alvaro Vitali as a dubbed priest with two big eyebrows
and ending with the leads, Aldo Maccione as the monster, Gianrico
Tedeschi as the doctor and Ninetto Davoli as Igor. The battery of
women, on the other hand, features Anna Mazzamauro, who in the same
year starred in 'Fantozzi', the beautiful Jenny Tamburi and Lorenza
Guerrieri.
“Frankenstein all'italiana” tells of the Doctor's return to
the family castle with his Janet, with whom he is to be married. But
during the ceremony, the monster appears and in addition to wreaking
havoc, he dies, shattering into a thousand pieces. Dr Frankestein thus
decides to recreate another monster who turns out to be sex-starved and
repeats the word 'iga'.
He does not create the usual havoc, but does make several village women
happy as well as those in the castle, including the beautiful Janet who
was waiting to get married.
In the end, however, it is Igor who benefits from the situation. Music by Stelvio Cipriani.
