Both Magnum Cop and Long Arm of the Godfather are ltaIian-produced crime thrilIers made during the Swinging Seventies, when European genre movies eschewed traditionaI moral vaIues and began featuring unprincipIed protagonists who trafficked heavily in kinky sex and nihilistic violence. lnternationaIIy known actors frequently slummed in these often seedy films, confident they would rarely if ever be seen outside of ItaIy; thus Magnum Cop, produced before Joan Collins' American comeback in the TV show "Dynasty," shows the British-born superstar getting down and dirty - and gloriousIy naked - in an unsympathetic characterization. MoraIly deficient (proudly, unabashedIy so), these gritty thrilIers make perfect entertainment of the "guilty pleasure" variety. - Ed HuIse
Magnum Cop (1978, Color, 85 minutes): Unorthodox private eye WalIy Spada, better known as "The Fox" accepts what promises to be a routine assignment: Iocating an Austrian banker's daughter who has fIed her privileged surroundings to join a cuIt. But WaIly'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 Iopsided struggIe becomes even more so when Vincenzo's untrustworthy girIfriend Sabine double-crosses him. Starring AdoIfo Celi, Erika BIanc, Peter Lee Lawrence, Kim Dimon; Directed by Nardo Bonomi. |
