Alessandro Tedeschi
Alessandro Tedeschi, born in Italy, made a significant impact in the world of cult cinema throughout the 1960s and 1970s. He is known for his roles in Assassination in Rome (1965), where he navigates the intrigue of espionage, and Nazi Love Camp 27 (1977), a controversial piece that delves into the darker side of human nature. Tedeschi's performances often reveal a complex interplay of vulnerability and intensity, making him a notable figure in the realm of exploitation and giallo films. His work in So Sweet... So Perverse (1969) further cements his status as a key player in the genre.
Dr. Jekyll Likes Them Hot
A lusty young woman decides to use her sexual powers to “tame” the evil and murderous Dr. Jekyll. Actress Edwige Fenech and the Italians made A LOT of screwball sex comedies in the 70’s. Generally though, they were more successful(internationally, at least) at bedroom farce-type stuff as opposed to parodies like this. To be fair though, the English-language version of this is saddled with bad dubbing, horrid music (which may or may not have been in the Italian-language version), and an inappropriate English-title, “Dr.Jeckyl Likes ’em Hot”, which suggests a much more sex-saturated movie. Still, as European horror movie parodies go this is not as good as Lucio Fulci’s “Young Dracula”, it’s about the same as Armando Crispino’s “Frankenstein All”Italia”, but it’s significantly better than “Dracula Blows his Cool”.
