    Goofy but funny rare 60's comedy starring S. Tate (in her last film), V. Gassman, V. De Sica and O. Welles! Priceless guilty pleasure, particularly notable for a nice Tate's performance and Welles' 10-minute cameo.

    a typical 60s euro-comedy, with a funny plot: a poor italian barber (Gassman) got good news: his aunt is dead and he travels immediately to England to take ownership of....nothing! Needing money to come back in Usa he sells whole chairs of aunt's home to an antique shop, but tha...( read more)t night he finds an hidden aunt's letter which it speaks about A FORTUNE of money in one of those chairs...He must find the chair at any cost and here it starts his adventures... Nice post 68 movies, it has great moment of fun and sex (a threesome night with S.Tate and Ottavia Piccolo...whatta a luck that man!) .Wells and V.De Sica are guest star for some funny Cameos. Explosive ending: barber com back to his shop, no money...no honey... but he has the secret (a secret for him too) to grew up the hairs .. and everybody's around they get a CAVEMEN style....

    "12+1" (also known as "The 13 Chairs") was Sharon Tate's final film role. This comedy was filmed in Europe in early 1969, and it definitely has a very 60's feel. Her co-stars include Vittorio Gassman and Orson Welles. "12+1" is campy and fun to watch. It was also fairly provocati...( read more)ve for its time. Sharon Tate really had a knack for comedic roles. (See also: "The Wrecking Crew")

    sounds like similar idea as another movie I once saw - a more recent one though
