El bello Giorgio

I didn't see this movie when it came out in 1968. And for good reasons, I guess, as it must have had a very short life in theaters. I saw it today and I was intrigued by the opportunity of watching what I was expecting to be a long lost gem. What a disappointment. I couldn't bear myself to endure watching it to the end. Put simply, it's one of the worst films ever made for which no significant use can be found apart from titillating the sexual interest of American teenagers (who nowadays have better options, anyway). The only reason it was made was probably the exploit the physical gimmicks of the main actor, Vittorio Gassman, who at the time was at the peak of his career as a TV personality.
