Watch The Smile of the Fox For Free

Pretty Good

An Exercise In Nonsense

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

It was the first time I watched this film. I can understand it left a mark on people due to the feeling of intensity the directing manages to build in the film. Steve Bond (or Shlomo Goldberg) seems convincing enough to me, amid the cheap light and image quality, as the camera work is not so rarely vivid and powerful. The sensuality switches from heat and cold, embracing both evenly deeply. The actress shines with that fragile and perverse innocence, dear to the 80s and 90s that failed to survive the rise of the macho heroin, whose sensuality is expressed into male features like combat abilities, rather than through her femininity. That femininity she expresses feels like a caress on the cheek. This kind of movies produced during that generation, despite their quality, seem to have kept their ability to portray feelings with a depth that can be as unsettling as it is charming. This Z-series movie is one of those kinds you'll remember.

I had seen this movie 10+ years ago. I remembered it essentially for the smouldering sensuality of its female lead Deborah Caprioglio.I recently spotted Spiando Marina on video under it English title Foxy Lady and purchased it. I was not too disappointed as I hadn't remembered the acting or story being that great. Debora was utterly captivating as the seductive beauty who ensnares our hero in her sexual web and he falls madly for her charms. Steve Bond plays a hit-man who is also a disgraced Miami cop who was involved in bribery and suspended, he gives evidence and various criminals go down. In retribution for this his wife and kid are killed and he blames himself and turns to drink. He is sent on a job to kill a man whose identity he does not at first know, once he meets Ms Caproglio and falls for her the targets identity turns out to be her lover a vicious drug dealer. If this story sounds a bit familiar it is, there have been many movies with similar story lines and most were much better than this film. The flashback sequences from the hit-man's past are poorly placed which detracts from the pace and continuity of the current story. The acting is bad from all involved and the direction is not great either. I only recommend this film if you would like to check out Ms Caprioglio and her amazing figure, she is worth it but only if you can get this film very cheap.I give this 3.5 out of ten only for Ms Caprioglio

Deborah Caprioglio is one sexy mumma but some of her other films like Paprika were a little tongue in cheek with any pretence of a sexy scene killed off by intrusive cheesy music.I first saw this film about 12 years and it remained in my mind for a long time due to it's unbelievably sexy content both in the style (voyeuristic elements) and the raw sexual attraction of the lead ie Deborah.It's a softcore production but I prefer these. More emphasis is placed on generating an erotic tone and the naturally voluptuous figure of Ms Caprioglio just smolders through the screen.The DVD is only in Italian, which I don't speak, so I can't comment on the story but it's a well made production and definitely worth buying if you are a fan of Deborah.
