Despite having seen her name mentioned in a number of IMDb reviews over the years,I have somehow never got round to catching a glimpse of Gloria Guida.With Christmas coming up,I started to search around for films which I could send to a friend as a gift,which led to me finally setting my sights on Gloria Guida.
The plot:
Thrown out of his house by his wife,a painter called Napoleone decides to look in the job section of a newspaper,in the hope of finding a job as soon as possible.Spotting an ad for a gardener,Napoleone goes to meet a woman,who says that she needs a gardener who can keep everything tidy at the villa based on an isolated island,where she lives with her husband,and a teenage daughter called Paola.
Arriving on the island,Napoleone runs into a beautiful women,who completely ignores the attention that he's giving her.Later on that night,Napoleone spots the mysterious women getting undressed in front of a window.As Napoleone's passions start to heat up,he soon discovers that the mysterious women is actually Paola,who is just about to enter a malicious age.
View on the film:
Backed by a playful score from Roberto Pregadio,co-writer/ (along with Piero Regnoli) editor/ director Silvio Amadio and cinematographer Antonio Maccoppi give the movie a light & fluffy appearance,with Amadio and Maccoppi surrounding the villa with lush plants,which also allow for the flesh shown by a ravishing Gloria Guida to truly shine.Allowing the viewer to sink into the films breezy atmosphere,the writer's hit a delightfully left-field note,by giving the title a surprisingly harsh,Giallo-inspired (the rich wanting to keep their hands clean of any blood) ending,as Napoleone finds that he is about to discover the effects of Paola entering her malicious age.
