I’ve watched a lot of movies. After a few, you begin to see patterns emerge and some things which appear odd or interesting once, reappear again and again. But I must admit some of them are unique to this little flick. A tip of the hat to the folks who can up with guard sheep with really sharp teeth, duck fights with boxing gloves on their webbed feet, popping that champagne cork up Joey Cortino’s (Billy Burke) nose and him digging it out, Pepper Gianini’s (Pamela Gidley) tongue going in an ear then coming out the other, the watermelon in Vincenzo Cortino’s (Lloyd Bridges) mouth and so on. But then I quite like fart jokes.
