I didn't much like this film when I first saw it ten or twelve years ago, but I was probably expecting a serious, fast-paced, violent Italian crime film as many of Tomas Milian's mid-70s films were. However this one emphasizes the comedy at least as much as the action, although it is still a successful package and the comedy/crime mixture works well. I haven't see all the later films (which ran well into the 1980's) with Milian as unconventional police inspector Nico Giraldi, but the one after this THE GANG THAT SOLD America, which also features a lot of US location shooting, does not work that well in my opinion and is full of dated pop culture references and unfunny humor. The first scene of LITTLE ITALY--as a dirty old man is looking through binoculars at a lady undressing...while his apartment is completely stripped clean by robbers only a few feet away from him!--sets the tone for the film. The plot, such as it is, takes Milian to New York and eventually to Las Vegas (and eventually to the gas chamber in Nevada in an outrageous climax!), and there's lots of great location footage of him walking along the old Vegas strip circa 1978. Eli Wallach appears (though his voice doesn't!) as a mafia don, in a role that didn't require much of this fine actor, but he plays comedy well and is good in the scenes involving his underlings, his red-haired wallflower oversexed daughter, and Milian (the scene in the Italian restaurant where Milian throws a pizza in the face of one of Wallach's underlings is classic!). Bombolo, who appears in a number of these later Nico Giraldi films, is a fine comic foil for Milian, and they have a good chemistry. I've yet to see the 1980's entries in this series (any kind soul out there with extra copies?), but in LITTLE ITALY the series still has some life in it, and Bruno Corbucci makes the mix of lowbrow Italian comedy and Italian police action work well. Not a classic, and action-oriented fans will be let down, but Milian fans will enjoy it. 　　译文(2): 十年或十二年前我第一次看这部电影的时候，我并不是很喜欢它，但是我可能期待一部严肃、快节奏、暴力的意大利犯罪电影，就像托马斯 · 米利安的许多70年代中期的电影一【资源囤-ZiYuanTun.Com】。然而，这部电影至少强调了喜剧和动作的重要性，尽管它仍然是一部成功的电影，而且喜剧和犯罪的混合效果也很好。我没有看过米利安扮演非传统的警察督察尼科 · 吉拉尔迪的所有后来的电影(一直延续到20世纪80年代) ，但是这部电影之后的《出卖美国的黑帮》 ，也有很多美国的外景拍摄，在我看来效果不是很好，充满了过时的流行文化参考和无趣的幽默。《小意大利》的第一个场景——一个肮脏的老人用望远镜看着一个正在脱衣服的女人... ... 而他的公寓被离他只有几英尺远的强盗洗劫一空！为这部电影定下基调。这个情节，尽管如此，把米利安带到了纽约，最后到了拉斯维加斯(最后到了内华达州的毒气室，达到了一个惊人的高潮!)还有很多他在1978年前后沿着拉斯维加斯老街走的镜头。Eli Wallach 出现了(尽管他的声音没有出现!)作为一个黑手党老大，这个角色并不需要太多这样优秀的演员，但是他的喜剧表演很好，而且在涉及他的下属，他的红头发壁花性欲过度的女儿和米兰的场景中表现出色(在意大利餐厅里米兰把披萨扔到瓦拉赫的下属脸上的场景是经典的.Bombolo 出现在 Nico Giraldi 后期的许多电影中，是米兰的一个很好的喜剧陪衬，他们之间有很好的化学反应。我还没有在这个系列中看到1980年代的作品(有没有什么善良的灵魂有多余的副本?)但是在《小意大利》中，这个系列还是有一些生命力的，布鲁诺 · 科尔布奇将低俗的意大利喜剧和意大利警察行动结合起来拍得很好。不是经典，动作导向的球迷会失望，但米兰球迷会喜欢它。
