Adriano Cornelli emerged in the 1970s as a notable actor within the realm of exploitation cinema. He appears in Sweet Teen (1976), where his performance adds a distinct flair to the film’s exploration of youthful desire. In Salon Kitty (1976), Cornelli further cements his presence in cult film history, contributing to the film's provocative narrative set against the backdrop of World War II. His roles reflect the era's fascination with taboo and the underground, making him a compelling figure in the conversation around cult and grindhouse cinema.
Sweet Teen
This movie is about a middle-age businessman who marries a much younger woman (former Miss Italy Daniela Giordano), but is carrying on with his sexy secretary (Dagmar Lassander). He somehow still has the energy, however, to lust after his wife’s visiting niece (Viviano), although that’s perhaps not surprising as she constantly lolls around in a short mini-skirt with her panties in full display or lies naked in bed playing with her puss (I’m talking about her cat–get your mind out of the gutter!). In the funniest scene she gets alarmed by a noise and insists on sleeping in the same bed with her “uncle”. The man eventually hatches a hare-brained scheme to pay another man, a handsome butcher, to seduce his wife so he can file for divorce and be with the niece. But, of course, it all goes horribly, horribly wrong.
