Unusual Cameo
Capucine has an unusual cameo
role as Tryphaena, who is cursed
with fire in her body. My favorite
from "Tropic of Cancer," Magali
Noel, is also in the film, as Fortunata,
the lesbian wife of the emperor
Eumolpus, played by Salvo
Randone.
The print at the University is
dubbed. Fortunately, the dubbing
is not as poor as last year's "Z."
Most of the English voices match
the quality of the original Italian
soundtrack, with the exception of
Eumolpus, who sounds too Cockney
to be an emperor. The only real
fault with the dub-job is the usual
problem of synchronization, but
for the most part, it is quite good.
