Bombolo Movies

This slapstick, bawdy farce features Tomas Milian once again as Inspector Giraldi and Bombolo as the petty thief with two left feet who helps the inspector solve a dastardly crime. Too fully schtick to cater to a tightly-woven plot, the gist of the story is that the unlikely duo have to pose as transvestites to get into the Blue Gay club where a male female dancer was murdered. When the good inspector's post-partum wife discovers him undercover with people of indeterminate gender, he tries for the rest of the story to get back into her good graces. Meanwhile, the daring duo have to go to Berlin where a film director (!) has been identified as the killer -- a member of the KGB after atomic secrets (the murdered transvestite's father is an atomic scientist). The gay world is sent up as far as the ozone layer, and the German spies are heroically one-dimensional in this take-off on the European demi-monde. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

In this Italian police drama, a hippie cop goes to Milan to look into a murder. He is called because he grew up in the same neighborhood as the prime suspect. The suspect's alibi was that he was hiding beneath a bed when the murder occurred. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
