Detective fra le piume

Out of the vast video vortex of forgotten films every so often a movie emerges that is so outstandingly outrageous that instant "cult status" should be awarded. This is a comedy that can only be described as part Woody Allen, part Paul Bartel, and insanely funny. Starting with the animal fetish angle, implied nymphomania, a bartender who only speaks in cliches, and a chicken hatchery owner as a private eye, "The Manchu Eagle Murder Caper Mystery" bounds along with rapid fire laughs. Multiple viewings are mandatory as this is the type that gets better each time you see it. The cast plays the deadpan humor for all it's worth, although I have no idea how they kept from hysterics? Don't miss this one, it is definitely worth seeking out. - MERK
