Reference Number: Avaluer:8358699 | Director: Robert Bean |
Genre: Experimental | Film Format: 16mm |
Here is a true rarity, a comedy short from the late1960s/early 1970s starring Renne Taylor and directed by Robert Bean who alsodirected Renee in MADE FOR EACH OTHER. Short was made in the spirt of THE DOVE.Written and starring Taylor (seemingly shot around the same time as MADE FOREACH OTHER), film spoofs European romance movies of the time. Renne is thenymph cavorting on a beach with a jet set Italian man in ...lush movie fashion.But things turn odd and funny, when the two start conversing in increasinglymock Italian (with words like “mushuga” often heard) along with equallyuproarious English subtitles. At the end, both realize how truly rotten theyare, but can't resist each other, that is until Renee tells of her affair withDirty Herbie and everyone else in the Rome phone book. Short appears to havegotten little attention, as it doesn't appear on any Taylor or Beanfilmography. Film is complete with all titles and runs nine minutes. Print isin overall very good condition with few lines or splices, very good audio andno vinegar smell. Color is on the reddish side. Still a great addition to anymodern comedy or rare short collection. Print Condition: Good / Turning Color / Loud Sound / NO VINEGAR / 7 min, on lab core
