Laura Antonelli...    FIRST   PRIOR   1 2       Last Post   Posted:   Jun 26, 2015 - 9:58 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) One of Antonelli's more famous films was 1975's DIVINA CREATURA ("Divine Creature"). She starred as a beautiful woman who engages in affairs with two men (Terence Stamp and Michele Placido), playing them against each other. The film was set in the decadent Roaring Twenties. The film was notorious for its seven-minute nude scene. In 1979, Analysis Film Releasing distributed the film in the U.S. as THE DIVINE NYMPH.    Posted:   Jun 26, 2015 - 10:36 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) Through a confluence of circumstances, in 1976, Antonelli got to work for director Luchino Visconti (DEATH IN VENICE) in his last film, L'INNOCENTE. Visconti intended the title roles to be played by Alain Delon and Romy Schneider. But Delon was under long-term contract, and the $1,000,000 that his producers wanted to release him was considered too much; and Schneider was pregnant at the time, so Visconti had to work with Antonelli and Giancarlo Giannini, thus reuniting the stars of HOW FUNNY CAN SEX BE? In the period drama L'INNOCENTE, Giannini plays the philandering husband of Antonelli, who doesn't mind her husband's affairs as long as he is discreet. But when Antonelli takes a lover, Giannini loses his appetite for dalliances. Franco Mannino's score won an Italian "Oscar" as Best Score, and was released on a DRG CD in 1997. Analysis Film Releasing distributed the picture in the U.S. in 1979 as THE INNOCENT.    Posted:   Jun 27, 2015 - 1:08 AM     By:   CindyLover   (Member) In 1979, Analysis Film Releasing distributed the film in the U.S. as THE DIVINE NYMPH. One of the two Richards (Corliss and Schickel) wrote in Time's review of the movie that Laura undressing is "the high point, of course, of all her movies." As far as I know, no female critic said something on the lines of "Mel Gibson's bare behind is the high point, of course, of all his movies."    Posted:   Jun 28, 2015 - 2:11 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) 1977's WIFEMISTRESS was a comedy-drama about a woman (Antonelli) who takes over her husband's business when he inexplicably disappears. She finds out much about his life that she did not know. Armando Trovajoli's score won an Italian "Oscar" for Best Music, but has never had an LP or CD release. The film was released in the U.S. in 1979 by Quartet Films.    Posted:   Jun 28, 2015 - 3:04 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) Four great beauties--Ursula Andress, Laura Antonelli, Silvia Kristel, and Monica Vitti--co-starred in 1979's LETTI SELVAGGI ("Wild Beds"). The film was comprised of 8 comic sketches set in Italy. But despite the obvious appeal of the actresses involved, the film did not find an American distributor.    Posted:   Jun 28, 2015 - 8:30 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) 1979 was a big year in the U.S. for Laura Antonelli. A number of her films that had been released earlier overseas finally hit American screens: January 7 - Wifemistress January 11 – The Innocent July 1 – X-Rated Girl July 20 – Till Marriage Do Us Part October 12 – The Divine Nymph Then, to capitalize on all this attention, in November some distributor called Major Studios released a film called INSIDE LAURA ANTONELLI, which was actually a re-titling of one of Antonelli's earliest films-- 1969's DEVIL IN THE FLESH ("Le malizie di Venere"). Following this onslaught, Antonelli had no films released in the U.S. for two years. In 1982, Film Ventures International re-released THE X-RATED GIRL in the U.S. Unlike the first time, when Antonelli’s name wasn’t mentioned in the advertising, this time the film was advertised “For all those who missed Laura Antonelli in WIFEMISTRESS,” and the film was given the more sedate title of SECRET FANTASY.    Posted:   Jun 29, 2015 - 6:26 AM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) In 1982, Putnam Square Films released Antonelli's 1981 film PASSION d'AMORE. Antonelli played the lover of a young Italian soldier who is sent to a remote post. The film was directed by Ettore Scola (A SPECIAL DAY), scored by Armando Trovajoli, and is credited with inspiring Stephen Sondheim to write the musical "Passion." Antonelli won the Italian "Oscar" as Best Supporting Actress for this film. PASSION d'AMORE would prove to be Laura Antonelli's last appearance on American movie screens.    Posted:   Jun 29, 2015 - 9:11 AM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) Hey Bob, Is it possible to make a list of her films that have been released on dvd in America? thanks!!!!!!!!! bruce Laura Antonelli’s Videography (in English or with English subtitles) About half of all of Laura Antonelli’s films that have been released in English-accessible versions have been on videotape only, with no subsequent DVDs.
