That's what you think. An almost impossible feat. All the
films by Franco Franchi and Ciccio Ingrassia, as a couple, but also as
soloists, reviewed, reread, told by those who made them, but above all
catalogued in order of release from the first to the last. An inextricable
labyrinth. Accompanied by the statements and reviews of the time, which
reconstruct the production madness, the very poor critical fortune, the
incredible success in the 60s. Almost a movie a week. One title after another.
Good, not so good, great, bad. But the films that take the lead grosses an
average of 400 million lire per title, with peaks of one billion that will make
the producers rich, who are asking for more and more. Which will make Ciccio
say "Modestly, the Italian comic cinema of the 60s is called Franchi e
Ingrassia". And, something never attempted, the reconstruction of another
labyrinth, the theatrical one, of the birth of the comic couple within the
incredible world of post-war entertainment. A great Italian story. Or, rather,
Sicilian. Colour insert, 32 pages. Preface by Giampiero Ingrassia.
Thanks, a friend was actually looking for this recently. I'll send the link along.
