Richard Crenna needs to keep his J&B far from his bed and pedestal TV.

Silent Action
Luc Merenda eyeballs the multi-shot of J&B as soon as he walks in.
J&B classes up the joint.
The bottle every robber dreams of finding.
Two bottles of J&B classes up even this scary clown joint.
Now to relax and watch a Maurizio Merli movie. (Somehow I can never picture Luc Merenda sitting around watching TV.)
Let’s hope he hasn’t torn the room apart looking for J&B.
Verson Jetorix: “Cop Luc Merenda’s investigation leads him into dangerous political territory. Sergio Martino’s crime film has serious matters on its mind but still manages to entertain.”
The Spy Who Loved Flowers
This is why you can’t get table bottles of J&B anymore.
Verson Jetorix: “Roger Browne must track down and kill those who may have memorized a secret formula in Umberto Lenzi’s Eurospy adventure. Not the most exciting specimen but enjoyable nonetheless.”
Meet Him and Die
Nothing like a little indoor J&B picnic.
Ray Lovelock’s friend has bad taste in clothes but knows which poolside table to troll.
Elke Sommer has that backwards J&B look in her eyes.
Verson Jetorix: “Cop Ray Lovelock goes undercover and becomes part of the problem. Enjoyable Italian crime from Franco Prosperi. Plenty of action. The soundtrack is more jazzy and subdued than the usual rocking bombast.”
Killer Cop
Table getting crowded. Better move the water or the lamp. Or the phone.
Verson Jetorix: “After a bomb blast in a hotel lobby, Commissioner Claudio Cassinelli heads down a rabbit hole in search of terrorists. Another good crime story inspired by the political climate of Italy at the time.”
Go Gorilla Go
Sure I’ll have a demitasse of J&B. Make it two, they’re small.
Verson Jetorix: “Fabio Testi foils a faked kidnapping attempt on a rich industrialist so he can get a job as the man’s bodyguard. Tonino Valeri’s crime film, inspired by events in the chaotic Italy of the time, is an action-packed and slightly wacky ride.”
The Perfect Killer
That’s some wild-ass hippie dancing J&B.
Only the best for Lee Van Cleef and his trannie friend.
Verson Jetorix: “Fever dream Eurocrime. Lee Van Cleef cashes his check as he goes revengin’ because he took the fall for a heist. Fernando Sancho is on screen for a couple of minutes. Disposable as planned.”
