Cattive ragazze (1992)

豆知識

Cattive ragazze is a 1992 film directed by Marina Ripa Di Meana in her directorial debut. It was produced by Alberto Tarallo and Achille Manzotti and starred Eva Grimaldi, Brando Giorgi, Burt Young and Anita Ekberg. The film was released on the Italian cinema circuit on August 15, 1992. Eva Grimaldi stars as a recently divorced woman falling in love with a male stripper. The film received negative reviews from both critics and the public and bombed at the box office, and is sometimes considered one of the worst Italian films ever made. The production received bad publicity, as it was made using money from the country's Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities under Article 28.

Production

Ripa di Meana’s first foray into cinema came in 1979, when she landed the lead role in the film Assassinio sul Tevere. Subsequently, two films were made based on her best-selling books: I miei primi 40 anni, directed by Carlo Vanzina, and La più bella del reame, directed by Cesare Ferrario in 1989. Following these films, Ripa di Meana wrote the screenplay for Cattive ragazze, a film dealing with feminism.

The cast was also composed primarily of women, including Eva Grimaldi, Florence Guérin, and Anita Ekberg. The film marked several debuts: Ripa di Meana behind the camera, Eva Grimaldi in her first dramatic acting role, and actor Brando Giorgi.

To promote the film, two short trailers were produced: in the first, Ripa di Meana appeared—brandishing a pair of scissors—after a few clips from the movie, while in the second, she presented the film alongside actress Debbie Lee Carrington. The soundtrack featured vocals by Donatella Rettore, with music and lyrics by Claudio Rego and M.T. Brill.
