Rent Super Bitch (1973)

Classic - Super Bitch review by sb

FILM & REVIEW AKA Superbitch - wonderfully overdone Italian Cop thriller has Rassivov as Cliff who we first meet in Beruit where he assassinates a drug middleman working for Mama ( a superbly demented Patricia Hayes). Quick stop off in Rome to meet with his Drug Lord boss then off to London to hook up with Morrell who not only runs a high class escort agency that specialises in blackmail but is also major link in the drug trafficking gang. One of his girls is Joann (Beecham) and it’s soon revealed that Cliff is an undercover cop working to break the case. To complicate things he has his own agenda and isn’t relying on his Police pension in old age so organises mega massacres of rival gangs and sets up the deal so each Drug Lord will blame the other for betrayal with the invevitble consequences. It’s got car chases , beatings, stabbings , nudity and huge shootouts including one in New York warehouse with Rassimov wearing a air of cool detachment worthy of Dirty Harry and Beecham gamely spends the film in various states of undress. It’s really is a key film on the Years of Lead genre - 4/5
