Poster for the movie Slalom

Slalom (1965)

Lucio (Vittorio Gassman) and Riccardo (Adolfo Celi) visit a ski resort with their wives but devise a plan to shunt them away so they can try their luck with the snow bunnies they’re seeing all around. Unfortunately for Lucio, his efforts to woo a blonde he has seen (Beba Loncar) get him mixed up with a murder, then kidnapped and shuffled off to Egypt as part of an international intrigue involving a plan for world domination, and all the while he is trying to get out of his predicament. Daniela Bianchi shows up as an agent who may not be completely trustworthy. Reasonably fun once it gets going, but the setup drags.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK, but not great.

Movie 445 for 2021.
