Porzia, a beautiful and feisty aristocrat leaves her convent school when her wealthy, blue-blooded fiancé sends a small military regiment to bring her home for their wedding. Handsome Captain Palagano has been particularly charged with keeping the virginal lass safe and intact. The journey across the picturesque country starts off peacefully enough, but when brigands attack, only the girl and Bartolo, a humble coachman, are left alive. Determined to get her home, he and she make the rest of the trip on horseback. Though rude in manner and uneducated, Bartolo proves to be a loyal and courageous ally who sees Porzia through many adventures. This beautifully rendered costume drama offers chaste adventure and fun suitable for the entire family. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

This exciting WW II drama is set in Yugoslavia and chronicles the daring exploits of a band of Allied soldiers who escape from their POW camp and head for safety. They are nearly there when they encounter a well-defended bridge; a bridge they have no choice but to somehow cross. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Based on a Texas Ranger comic-book hero who first rode into sight in 1948, this routine western is an Italian version of the adventures of Tex Willer (Giuliano Gemma), his sidekick Kit Carson (William Berger), and his Native American buddy Tiger Jack (Carlo Mucari). Predictably, Tiger Jack is nearly mute, and Tex wears a white cowboy hat, just to make clear which side he is on. A series of adventures take the trio into a confrontation with the Yaqui nation, intent on (finally) avenging the near-annihilation of their ancestors. To that end, the Yaquis rob a train, join forces with other Native Americans, and manage to concoct a secret weapon that is capable of immediately transforming their enemies into mummies. The "Lord of the Deep" is an alchemist parked at the bottom of a volcano, who creates a glowing green mummification rock (shades of kryptonite!).

Geared to a teen and pre-teen audience, this juvenile romance is set in the last year of high school and involves the attraction between a beautiful newcomer (Isabella Ferrari) to the school, and an introverted, hard-working young student (Massimo Ciavarro), and between a plain woman (Orsetta Gregoretti) infatuated with the school's womanizer (Carlo Mucari), and the class joker (Mauro Di Francesco). Their stories play out as expected, against a backdrop of current hit songs and with a lot of frenetic acting. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
