Star Pilot (1966)


In the 1960s, the Italians were the best in comedies, dramas, western spaghetti. Trying sci-fi, they did not succeed at all. This movie is not the worst, on the contrary, it’s a good try which has some merits. The best thing is the beautiful Leonora Ruffo. And then, the presence of the very sexy Leontine May, who was also in a few euro-spy films. The story is banal and with deja-vu taste. But the actors strive, their effort is visible. I’m sure the film’s budget was limited, so it did not benefit from the effects type Star Wars or 2001 Space Odyssey. Even so, it’s not bad, it’s worth seeing.
