Francesco Rosi's 1960 movie SALVATORE GIULIANO, starring Frank Wolff, deserves to be much-better known as a classic throwback to the Neo-Realist movement. Unfortunately, young enthusiasts of Italian movies watch only a diet of so-called gialli, horror movies, Westerns, crime movies and sex films.
In the last category comes Joe D'Amato, most prolific and best-known (alongside Tinto Brass) of the Italian pornographers. His phony riff on Rosi, titled DON SALVATORE: THE LAST SICILIAN, is just another insult from his voluminous bag of tricks.
It was made in August 1996 (not the erroneous 1995 IMDb date) back-to-back with another stinker, THE LEOPARD, a lame take-off on Visconti. This time SG is a Sicilian bandit from Montenegro, personified by big-dicked, broken-nosed Hakan Serbes.
His right hand-man is Valentino as Spano (would that they'd hired Vincent Spano from Hollywood), and the two carry neat rifles when they aren't shtupping every girl on the Island.
Lame plot line has duo kidnapping the wealthy British husband of the local baroness, after servicing said lady in their patented tag-team double-penetration style. A minor rebellion against the government is in progress, but all D'Amato cares about is humping.
Ultimately Salvatore marries the lovely Giovanna (Cindy Scorsese, as always I must remind "not related to..."), and the wedding cues an orgy in which Valentino gets to shtup the baroness again.
Along the way they have taken time out to have sex with the baroness's beautiful servant Nicoletta (played by Nicolette, a wonderful Cyndi Lauper-lookalike -from the neck up- in D'Amato's porn troupe), and Hakan's leading lady from THE LEOPARD, winsome Monica Orsini, is uninhibited in this movie as Rosa.
As before, chief fetish is the women all having sex wearing thick stockings, a sop to the movie's period setting. Bad English dubbing doesn't help make it watchable.
