THE GREAT ALLIGATOR(1979)

Directed by Sergio Martino

Starring

Barbara Bach, Claudio Cassinelli, Mel Ferrer, Romano Puppo, Fabrizia Castagnoli, Enzo Fisichella, Lory Del Santo, and Anny Papa

A photographer is hired to fly to a newly built resort in the middle of the jungle to take some some publicity photos for the owner. Upon his arrival he is given a guided tour of the grounds and ends up finding himself very interested in the owners beautiful assistant (Barbara Bach).

Meanwhile two locals sail to a nearby island to get it on and on their way back they are attacked and killed by a giant alligator. The photographer and the assistant hear their screams and figure out what happened when they discover the remains of the couples boat.

The ancient jungle god Kruna is pissed about the multi-million dollars tourist trap resort and has taken the form of a giant man-eating alligator. The greedy hotel owner is not convinced
though and since his first guests are coming to stay he doesnt want to start a panic. The situation is futher complicated when the local tribesmen go on a violent killing spree and slaughter nearly all the annoying tourists. It is not until the assistant is captured, stripped and trussed up down by the river to act as a sacrifice to Kruna that the magnate finally listens, but by then it is far too late as the giant alligator tears through the rest of the guest list

Sergio Martino creates a uniquely cruel and menacing atmosphere and the death scenes are done with great skill and panache. Also features an excellent 70's jungle music score by Stelvio Cipriani.

3 BY SCORSESE (DVD)

This is a collection of three early works by Martin Scorsese and a must for the collection of any fan.

The 1st is Italianamerican (1974) which features Scorsese’s parents in their apartment. His parents are fascinating storytellers and interweave their own experiences as Italian Americans with a history of New York itself.

The 2nd is The Big Shave (1967) which he made as a metaphor for the Vietnam War and was produced as his final project in film class at N.Y.U. A man walks into a sterile bathroom then proceeds to shave until he pierces through his skin.

The 3rd film American Boy (1978) is a profile of Steven Prince. Scorsese gives the viewer an in depth view into the man's life and due to Prince's wonderful role as a story teller, the tales he tells are fascinating, some silly, and some so outlandish you have to doubt their sincerity.
