I've got this on DVD and loads of other bonkers long forgotten Italian flics from the '60s and '70s, a lot of Innocenti Minis appear in them as well as other British cars of the period. Lots of Lambos, Ferraris, Masers, Lancias and Alfas too of course... wonderful viewing if you can stand the high levels of cheese. The soundtracks are often excellent though. They don't make films like this anymore and more's the pity, these days everything is either chock full of CGI or trying too hard to be 'worthy' or 'right on'.foxy52 wrote:...Anyone see the very camp but entertaining 1968 Franco/Italian film ...Diabolik.. ???.. its actually on film 4 tomoz..
