In this routine, provincial Italian comedy, sex and jealousy take center stage. Lorenzo (Renato Pozzetto) is the cubby mayor of a small town who is both blessed and plagued by a sexy wife (Gloria Guida). Although his wife is faithful, he is not sure of that and invents ways to prevent any man from misbehaving with her. Meanwhile, Arrigo is the town's notorious playboy, and everyone gets suspicious when he starts paying frequent visits to the mayor's house. The question no one considers is: which half of the married couple is Arrigo pursuing? ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Gloria Guida, former Miss Teenage Italy and star of the popular soft-core "Liceale" films of the late 1970s, is top-billed in The Best. She plays an au pair girl living in Rome, working as a servant in exchange for Italian-language lessons. Not surprisingly, she learns a lot of things not covered in her job description. And she doesn't have to learn the language, either. Patricia Welby, Loretta Pierson, and Carl Geofrey costar in this erotic enterprise, which was originally released in Italy in 1976 as Ragazza Alla Pari. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
This 1978 horror-lite opus was the work of René Cardona Jr., who was a creative force behind other tabloid-inspired efforts like Survive! and Guyana, Cult of the Damned. This less-exploitative entry in his filmography utilizes the infamous legends revolving around the many disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle as the backdrop for a fictional horror tale. The Bermuda Triangle tells the tale of a family scuba expedition, led by patriarch Edward (John Huston). Things take a turn for the bizarre when Edward's daughter finds a mysterious doll. The little girl claims the doll is telling her of their impending doom as strange things begin to happen to the cast and crew. The resulting film was more restrained than the likes of Survive!, going for more a Twilight Zone-style creepiness. Like much of Cardona Jr.'s work, it boasted an international cast that included Huston, Italian starlet Gloria Guida, Claudine Auger, and Cardona Jr. regular Hugo Stiglitz. The Bermuda Triangle found little favor with the critics but has earned a small cult following amongst people who have encountered it on late-night television. ~ Donald Guarisco, Rovi
