Francesco Anniballi
Francesco Anniballi, an Italian actor active in the 1970s, brings a unique charm to his roles in cult cinema. He appears in Love in 4 Easy Lessons (1976), where his performance adds a playful layer to the film's exploration of romantic entanglements. In Dr. Jekyll Likes Them Hot (1979), Anniballi further showcases his versatility, navigating the comedic and erotic elements of the story with ease. His contributions to these films exemplify the vibrant and often outrageous spirit of the era's exploitation cinema.
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”.
