Although described as a comedy I found few laughs in Mean Frank And Crazy
Tony. This continental production boasts a cast of Lee Van Cleef and Tony Lo
Bianco and a bunch of players that most Americans will never have heard of.
Van Cleef is a Mafia don on the order of Don Corleone and Lo Bianco is a young kid looking to make his bones in organized crime and tries way too hard to curry favor with Van Cleef. But when he saves his life after another family organizes a hit on him, Van Cleef and Lo Bianco become a team as Van Cleef looks for some payback.
Highlight of the film is a car chase from Milan to Marseilles with the guys making fools of the cops of two nations. Lo Bianco overacts outrageously, Van Cleef is subdued and menacing. When is Lee Van Cleef not menacing.
One these two definitely did for the money.
