Luciano Martino

Italian film producer, director and screenwriter known for popular and genre films.

Born 1933, died 2013. Frequently worked in popular Italian comedies and collaborated with actress Edwige Fenech.

Armand's review of La vergine, il toro e il capricorno praises Alberto Lionello's chameleonic performance and celebrates the film as a quintessential Italian 'bad comedy'. The review highlights recurring motifs (horns, chases, island escapes) and the film's deliberate artifice. It notes Edwige Fenech's fetishized role and the film's blend of absurdity and joy.

For:Fans of Italian genre cinema, cult comedies, and followers of Edwige Fenech or Alberto Lionello.
