Sock 'em up darlings. Ursulla Andress is ready for action.

A secret agent goes undercover as a flight attendant to crack a drug ring. ~ Jason Ankeny

Nora is a stewardess for ATI Airlines. She lands in Naples: a stranger gives her $100 to deliver a letter to Silvera, a brawny thug who has his boys work her over, convinced she's in league with "Il Americano," a mysterious underworld figure. Manuel, a young boxer, helps Nora get to her hotel and convinces her to seek police help. Wherever she goes, three rival gangs may be following her: Silvera's men, a gang led by a guy in a priest's cassock, and a smooth operator who gives Nora a consultant fee for information. Drugs may be behind the machinations. Is Nora more than an innocent bystander? A fistfight and a car chase bring matters to a head. What about Manuel?


A stewardess is paid to deliver a letter to a gang leader, and ends up in the middle of a battle among several rival gangs and the police over control of the Naples drug trade. It is nearly impossible to figure out who is who, and it doesn't much matter. Nearly all the fights, and there are many, are complete slapstick, and there are car chases very reminiscent of Keystone Cops. Towards the end, you realize that the stewardess is also part of a gang, possible US federal agents, possibly something else.

You may wonder why I am bothering with a film like this. Well, first, it is a gorgeous digital remaster, with bright, saturated colors and no grain. Second, the Naples scenery is very attractive. Third, some of the fight choreography is so far over the top that I couldn't help but laugh.

You are not convinced yet, you say? Well, how about Ursula Andress as the stewardess, doing full frontal and rear nudity in clear light in several scenes? In fact, I think she was naked more than she was dressed. She was 39 when she made this film, but looks spectacular. Not just for her age. She looks phenomenal for any age.

Of course 70s Italian farce is an acquired taste, but this film holds its own with films like Sirens and Showgirls in the Parthenon of celebrity nudity. For the record, I kind of enjoyed the slapstick as well.
