Bergonzelli directs Barbara Bouchet's Final Film
Also known as SOS: DIAMANTIA THANSIMO KYNIGI [SOS: Diamonds Deadly
Hunting]
director: Sergio Begonzelli
starring: Barbara Bouchet · William Berger · Gordon Mitchell
· Jack Brown · Ben Lawrence · Oya Winter
Crashed and sunken
in the depths of a murky sea, a passenger plane had a very special package...
a briefcase full of diamonds. These illegally acquired and transported
diamonds become an irresistible challenge to a few gangs of master thieves.
They will do anything - kill, deceive, cheat - to capture the diamonds
for themselves.
It's
always been a mystery how director Sergio Bergonzelli managed to make
such a crisp, color-popping film on his meager budgets. But (as evidenced
from the images on this page) his unique movies speak for themselves.
He helmed 28 projects between 1960-1990, beginning his career - like so
many other cult directors - with Spaghetti Westerns but by the end of
the sixties he had diverted to youth-movement thrillers. Often his movies
would embrace elements of the counter-culture (CRISTIANA
SCANDALOUS COED and the nunsploitation OUR LADY
OF LUST are perfect examples of this). Sometimes for his erotic
films - likeJOY - he would use the alias Serge Bergon. Mr Bergonzelli retired
from the movie business shortly after BLOOD
DELIRIUM when his health began to fail. He died from a heart attack
in September 2002. Sergio was 78.
This
was Barbara Bouchet's final starring role before turning to sporadic work
in European television.
She started her own production company in 1985 and launched her own line
of fitness books and videos. She also opened a health club in Rome. Today,
Barbara stars in the Italian TV series Ho Sposato Uno Sbirro (Married
To A Cop).
