Corbucci's Notorious 'Cave-Man' Sex Comedy
Original
Italian Title: QUANDO GLI UOMINI ARMARONO LA CLAVA E CON LE DONNE
FECERO DIN-DON
director: Bruno Corbucci
starring: Antonio Sabato · Aldo Giuffre · Vittorio Caprioli
· Nadia Cassini · Gisela Hahn · Lucretia Love
Written
and directed by Bruno Corbucci, this is a prehistoric-themed comedy based
loosely on the classic Greek anti-war play Lysistrata
by Aristophanes. The film opens as cave-stud Ari (played by a clearly
embarrassed Antonio Sabato) secures 'fuck rites' to lovely virgin
Listra after winning a pig-catching contest. However, their attempts
at Ding-Dong constantly get interrupted by inopportune battles between
his Cave Dweller Tribe and the Lake Dwellers. Annoyed that her new mate
would rather Make War than Ding-Dong, Listra organizes the women of
both tribes to go on strike and withhold Ding-Dong until the men stop
their constant fighting.
Bruno
Corbucci started his movie-making career as a scriptwriting in 1964,
responsible for penning almost 150 motion pictures including DJANGO
for his more famous filmmaking brother Sergio Corbucci. As a director,
Bruno would concentrate mostly on lowbrow comedies and then, later,
on crime films. Mr Corbucci's career ended with his death in September
1996, six years after his brother's passing in 1990. Bruno Corbucci
was 64.
