ARREVEDERCI, BABY (1966)

Post by Corey Fantoccini »

I saw the European-lensed dark comedy ARREVEDERCI, BABY (a/k/a DROP DEAD, DARLING) for the first time tonight, and noticed there was a freeze-type scene in it, where Tony Curtis first spots Zsa Zsa Gabor in a casino and they begin to flirt with each other while others around them are still.

The film was shot in 2.35 Panavision, and unfortunately, there is no widescreen DVD available anywhere that I know of. However, someone did upload an old VHS transfer to YouTube, so you can see it, albeit in a pan-scanned version. It starts around the 32:17 mark.

Fun fact: Ken Hughes also directed CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG, which of course features one of the best-known "doller" sequences in film. Four alumni from that film appear in this one as well, though not frozen.
