I always appreciate it. I hope that you all get to see this one and check out more of Di Leo's work. Despite a growing cult following over the last few years, his work is still woefully underseen and underappreciated. Thank you very much again.Hans A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11328243469224993459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4093327579257195527.post-68814569200339771732009-10-20T18:09:21.107-05:002009-10-20T18:09:21.107-05:00Outstanding review Hans.

And that is large and in charge.Dr.LargePackagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10582012408016042337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4093327579257195527.post-83546730712351686442009-10-20T16:02:58.518-05:002009-10-20T16:02:58.518-05:00Nice one, Hans.

I must admit to having no knowledge of Di Leo's cinema: now I'm intrigued and I'll certainly be tracking down his work.Neil Fulwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14686296295535235988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4093327579257195527.post-35611678679165825692009-10-20T11:05:20.493-05:002009-10-20T11:05:20.493-05:00Di Leo had earned a right to experiment after the ...Di Leo had earned a right to experiment after the so-called "Milieu" trilogy, and I'd think he'd earned the trust of his audience if he wanted to go in new directions. The use of "the American" as a gang boss refers back to <i>Milano Calibro 9</i>, in which Lionel Stander is "the American," though the English dub changes his nickname to "the Mikado[!]" I'm a little leery toward Italian comedy from the Seventies myself, but I'd be willing to let di Leo take a shot.Samuel Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934870299522899944noreply@blogger.com
