Thanks for the update Mick.
Between Ms Vitti's leathers, and new fork seals/ rear shocks for the Honda every other take, that must have been quite a big budget film.

the Harmonica work on that second clip is outstanding... music by Riz Ortolani, some quick searching reveals he scored Cannibal Holocaust

I may have to work my way through some of his oeuvre

Chris - well here's a nice bit of synchronicity. It just so happens that the marvellous Jonny Trunk has Ortolani's Mondo Cane on special offer for just 50p (along with loads of other good stuff at that price). Get over there:

Ah yes - Claudia Cardinale. I was at a deeply impressionable age when my se senses were struck, almost overwhelmingly, by Claudia's big eyes and very impressive cleavage performing to the equally distracting background sound track of Ennio Morricini in the mind blowing Once Upon a Time in The West.
