Almost every movie, Buf knows that Clint Eastwood shot at international fame after starring in Sergio Leone's "Dollar Trilogy", but what's next? That's a good question for a pub quiz because many people could jump directly in 1968 when the trio hits cemented his status as one of Hollywood's top heavy guys: "hanging", "bluff of Koagan" and "where eagles dare". But tight in his film is a forgotten Italian film since 1967, called "The Witches", not to interfere with Hammer Production with the same name from the previous year. Originally titled "Le Streg" in Italian, it is an anthology film that is not a horror film at all and has very little to do with witches, unless you go down really hard on its topics.

"Halloween" was the brain of the brain of legendary producer Dino de Laurentis, who would later influence Hollywood with the 1976 King Kong remake, Johnon Wayne's latest film "The Shot", The cult classic "Flash Gordon" and many more. In the mid-1960s, he predicted a lavish anthology to show the beauty and talent of his wife Silvana Mangano, a recognized Italian actor who worked with some of the best unrealistic directors at the time.

Mangano starred in all five segments of the film and De Laurentis provided some big strokes for directing: Lucino Visconti ("Death in Venice"), Pierre Paolo Pasolini ("Sally, or 120 days of Sodom"), and Vittorio de Sika ("Cycling Wrights"). Rolonini is inserted with two light sketches to break things up a little. Adding the overall luxury of production, Usuzepe Rotuno (who will later win an Oscar for "All That Jazz") was hired as a cinematographer, while Piero Picioni worked on music with Enio Moricone, who also came out of his huge success.

In front of the camera, Mangano was backed by a series of international actors, including Annie Giriraard, Francisco Rabal, Helmut Berger and Italian legend of Comedy Totti. The most unbeaten of all, in the fifth chapter, is Eastwood, who gave De Laurentis a shining new Ferrari to say thank you for appearing in the movie. Halloween is an impressive package, but is it worth your time?

The introductory segment of Visconti, "The Witch Burns Mercury" is the longest and strongest of the five short films in "Halloween". Mangano plays an actor in a supermitwire arriving in plush Austrian Lodge to spend the evening with his friends. However, she causes albama from other women as men walk around her, trying to put her in bed. Mangano certainly looks like the part in a series of beautiful clothes, and she goes great with a wild -shaped performance, showing a successful woman considered a male guest commodity. By the time she is collected, ready and re -composed of her departure the next day before the paparazzi's greedy eyes, the theme of the story of women's objectization is very clear.

The following is "Civic Spirit", Mauro Bolgini's wandering wandering with Mangano as a stylish city resident who uses an injured driver as an excuse to beat traffic in Rome. Punch -Line moves anthology in a more comic direction in readiness for "Earth seen from the moon" of passini. This piece is very tricky if you know only the director thanks to "Sally, or 120 days of Sodom", Notorious horror movie, some felt too far away. Tota (Italy's response to Charlie Chaplin) and the Passolin Overour, Neto Davoli, play customs and Bachiu Miao, father and son of heel, living in the hut of Rome's periccorders. The wife of the customs has just died, so the couple tried to find a proper replacement, placing a glittering deaf woman with green hair played by Mangano.

Your enjoyment in this story will depend on your tolerance for a very broad Italian absurdian comedy, but it looks like a treatment thanks to its primary colors and shutdown locations. The work was re-e-tym E-TIMS e-e-is-e-is-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-is-e-e-is-e-e-e-e-is-e-is-e-e-e-e-e-e -E-is-is-e-is-e-is-e-e-e-e-e-is-e-is-e-e-e-e-e-is-e-is-is-e-e-e-e-is-wh He had it. Mangano is very good again, her ethereal character is the most obvious witch of the group.

The penultimate segment is "Sicilian Bell", another short comic sketch in which Mangano plays a daughter who deceived her father to kill a man who insulted her, causing a war in the gang between rival families. It is almost non-jokes that the riffs of the melodramatics of the neo-national cinema, but the conscious Sitlion performance of Mangano only sells it.

Finally, we come to Clint Eastwood in "Vecer like others" and that is a role that cannot be different from The "man without name" person who made it known. Clint plays a boring husband who would rather sleep when he returns home than his wife (Mangano), who is disappointed with a lack of excitement in their relationship. She still has burned passions behind her appearance of appearance and horn spectacles, and opens her frustration through the complex day dreams that reveal her awkward fantasies of wild and ecstatic.

It is a solid duel for Eastwood and Mangano, and they make an attractive couple, although there is no huge amount of chemistry between them. However, it gives Eastwood the opportunity to show a lighter side of his screen persona (something that often feels a little stunned when trying a comedy in his Hollywood films). The segment doesn't really make up much, and feels like another excuse to dress Mangano in some fierce costumes in the dream sequences before the loans rolled. Stunningly, one of her fantasies includes a list of comic book characters, including Batman and Diabolik, a popular Italian anti-hero who will get his own Starwater vehicle in the next production of De Laurentis, "Diabolic".

"Halloween" has forgotten Curio in Eastwood's film, largely to the fact that United artists have bought US distribution rights and immediately buried him, concerned that his role in miles would harm his profitable status as a heavy man after the trilogy of the trilogy. You can see the point of the studio; He had no doubt that the audience was to see Eastwood in the Italian film about Arthaus's anthology with a title that might have misleaded people to expect a horror film. From a modern view, the theme of the film's sex battle is quite dated, and is not strong enough to guarantee watching, unless you are an Eastwood or a great Italian film film. If you are a swing style in the 1960s, you will certainly fill the boots with riots of the Groovy set and fashion on the screen.
