Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

markwood272 One of those Col. Tom Parker-ish vehicles for the rising pop musician, but even at their worst, the Elvis movies would manage a moment of wit that made them bearable. Little Rita nel West is a decidedly inferior offering in the category. All but one of the musical numbers terrible, with star Rita Pavone English-dubbed for dialogue, Italian lip-synched for the songs. The Monkees did this sort of thing better. Little Rita is one big labored joke, a clunky spoof of spaghetti Westerns so lacking in subtlety that it's easy to tell that the movie was made for an audience no older than twelve. Little Rita's appearance in defiance of her chronological age seems to have been expressly engineered for that demographic. Then after an hour of cinematic imbecility she sings "Tu Sei Come", a longing, melancholy ballad perfectly shot day for night, and with one song nearly redeems this silly movie.

ironhorse_iv Known as Crazy Westerners or Little Rita in the West. This movie is directed by Ferdinando Baldi, this film was suppose to be a funny musical spoof of Spaghetti Westerns genre! Little Rita (Rita Pavone) has a dream: she dreams of a better world with her Indian Chief pal Bisonte Seduto (Gordon Mitchell) and her German friend Francis (Lucio Dalla). In some versions, Rita is known as Little Jane, and her Indian Chief Pal name is Sitting Bison, Silly Bull, and others. So she has decided to blow up all the gold she can put her hands on by stealing from famous cowboys and outlaws. One by one, Little Rita track down some the Old West biggest legends such Ringo (Kirk Morris) and Django (Lucio Rosato) and go toe to toe with them. Kirk Morris playing Ringo looks and is dressed more like Clint Eastwood's No Name, and Lucio Rosato looks like a mirror image of Franco Nero's Django. It was until she met Black Star (Terence Hill) that she finally met her match. Hill's character Black Star was called Texas Joe in the German version by the way. In an obvious attempt to exploit the later success of 1970's Trinita played by Terence Hill, this film was rereleased in France with all the music sequences edited out and the character of Black Star baptized Trinita. A certain amount of jocks and puns was also added in the French translation of the dialogue supposedly to reinforce the comical dimension of the film. The fair amount of jokes are hit and misses. It poke fun at the anti-capitalist idiosyncrasies of some of the early political westerns, scripted by Franco Solinas. The movie is full of cheese moments that are just hilarious or awful. The bullet hitting a bullet scene was pretty awesome. Twice. It got a bit silly when a bullet go into another man's gun. The gold rocket launcher was just insane. It made me laugh, but gees, I didn't know they had gold rocket launcher in the old west. I guess this movie is really not going for historic accurate with such references such as dirty movies, machine guns, golf clubs and the silly gold bullet proof vest. Sorry, but bullet proof vest don't work that way. You can't get shot at, and not have any bullet holes in your shirt, or no kick back react to getting blasted at. The action scenes are pretty OK, but it's those one shot kill that make Spaghetti Westerns so messy. Bodycount: ca. 10 Gringos, ca. 13 Mexicans. It's weird in a way, that after a bit of action and death. Everybody starts singing and dancing as if the Wicked Witch was dead. The movie is full of clumsily choreographed dancing scenes. I do like the scene in which an Indian brave pantomimes the various ways of torturing a prisoner to death. That was pretty funny. There is a lot of mediocre songs sung by Italian pop star Rita Pavone. Pavone sings with a high-pitched, shrill voice and a strong Turin accent, which makes it hard to understand her lyrics. Rita Povone sounds like an annoying chipmunk in some of these songs. "Little Rita", "You are like", "For a gunshot" "A sheriff that you are respected" are songs that is hard to tell apart, because they all sound the same to me. It's catchy, but it doesn't help that the songs were not dub in English, while everything else is. The dubbing is awful. Not only does it not match, but characters names keep changing throughout the film. It was a bit funny that the Native American Silly Bull was talking in one scene as if he was a German. The editing isn't that good. Some scenes ending very quickly after the last line of dialogue and giving the film a rushed feel in a few places. The picture quality is decent - only light grain, but colors are slightly faded and there is minor speckling and print damage throughout. During some scenes, there is a slight bar on the left of the screen that changes colors - this is mostly covered by over-scan and not generally noticeable during watching. This movie is insultingly stupid to Spagnetti Westerns fans. To have Rita Pavone, a pop singers make fools out of Western legends like Ringo and Django is just lame. Reportedly Pavone was very dynamic and her restless behavior on the set led to minor incidents with other actors. To give you an example of what I meant by this, let's say American produce a film in which Lindsey Lohan play a cowboy who kill off all the great American Westerns characters like Clint Eastwood's Man with no Name or John Wayne's Rooster Cogburn because they were a bit greedy. That would angry you. Thus this is why this film isn't that good. The film wasn't for any Spagnetti Westerns fan, it was intended to be a showcase for Italian pop star Rita Pavone. It mocks or parodying typical most love characters. The Title sequence to this movie is like Grease or Pink Panther, a stupid cartoon that really doesn't help make the movie any better. While Rita Pavone is pretty cute, and her singing isn't nails scratching on a chalkboard horrible. Just seeing her in this film seem out of place. That's why this movie has no home in Spagnetti Western collection.

marc242 Weird Mixture of Western-Parody and Musical. Rita Pavone looks strangely androgynous in this movie, I can't say if she's really a woman or not. O_Othe musical scenes are typical 60s style,and a bit annoying. The overall atmosphere is light-hearted, although the jokes are VERY dated.I only know the german-dubbed version, so I'm sure the italian dialogue had to be extensively rewritten to make sense in german. This is generally a enjoyable,but still very strange western-parody with outlandish musical songs and equally weird dancing sequences.Good for your weekend thrash video night. :-)

humanoidzombie Fun little movie that pokes fun at many other spaghetti westerns -- and movies in general. The script is uneven, but most of the (in) jokes are fun. Lots of references to semi-famous western movie titles, scenes, and characters... Terence Hill doesn't do much, the real star is Rita Pavone in this one. I won't spoil it for you, just try and find it, some scenes are worth it -- when you're feelin' stupid!
