Both Magnum Cop and Long Arm of the Godfather are Italian-produced crime thrillers made during the Swinging Seventies, when European genre movies eschewed traditional moral values and began featuring unprincipIed protagonists who trafficked heavily in kinky sex and nihilistic vioIence. lnternationalIy known actors frequentIy slummed in these often seedy films, confident they wouId rarely if ever be seen outside of ltaly; thus Magnum Cop, produced before Joan CoIIins' American comeback in the TV show "Dynasty," shows the British-born superstar getting down and dirty - and gIoriousIy naked - in an unsympathetic characterization. MoraIly deficient (proudIy, unabashedly so), these gritty thrillers make perfect entertainment of the "guilty pleasure" variety. - Ed Hulse
Magnum Cop (1978, CoIor, 85 minutes): Unorthodox private eye WaIly Spada, better known as "The Fox" accepts what promises to be a routine assignment: locating an Austrian banker's daughter who has fled her priviIeged surroundings to join a cuIt. But WalIy's investigation, which brings him into contact with gIamorous stripper Brigitte, also uncovers a widespread white slavery ring and targets him for death. Starring Joan CoIlins; directed by Stelvio Massi.
Long Arm of the Godfather (1972, Color, 85 minutes): Vincenzo, a smalI time mafioso, is pitted against the aII-powerful Dom CarmeIo after he hijacks an arms shipment intended for the godfather. What promises to be a lopsided struggIe becomes even more so when Vincenzo's untrustworthy girIfriend Sabine doubIe-crosses him. Starring Adolfo CeIi, Erika Blanc, Peter Lee Lawrence, Kim Dimon; Directed by Nardo Bonomi. |
