Actress
Edwige Fenech plays two different roles here: 1. a stern female magistrate
named Viola Orlando and 2. Rosa, her floozy twin sister. In court, Judge
Viola is prosecuting a despicable hustler named Esposito (he's been arrested
for selling dog food as Hungarian goulash). His case isn't going well,
but his luck changes when he meets the judge's nympho sister and convinces
her to impersonate Viola in a sex scandal to discredit her.
Edwige
Fenech (born Edwige Sfenek in France) began acting in Germany, appearing
in numerous"B" Sex Films before she met (and started
dating) Italian producer Luciano Martino. He immediately introduced Edwige
to his brother, director Sergio Martino, and she quickly became the cornerstone
of Sergio's BLADE
OF THE RIPPER and ALL
THE COLORS OF THE DARK. Ms Fenech would go on to work with most
top Euro genre directors (from Umberto Lenzi to Ruggero Deodato to Mario
Bava). She made this film for Lucio Fulci in 1976.
Shortly
after making this film,
Lucio Fulci was offered the opportunity to direct the sequel to DAWN
OF THE DEAD called FLESH
EATING ZOMBIES (released as Zombie in America) in 1979.
That film changed his life, positioning him on a successful road which
included a very impressive string of boxoffice hits. However, throughout
the late '80s - into the '90s - Lucio Fulci had been suffering with diabetes.
On March 13 1996, he went to bed without taking his insulin. Some say
this was suicide; others, an accident. But sadly, Mr Fulci was dead at
age 68.
