THE GODFATHER AND THE LADY (OR 6 CHAMPIONS GO WILD) (1975)

[The Burgomaster]

Here is a really obscure gangster comedy starring Jane Russell.  The movie's "gimmic" is that it features 6 former professional boxers (Jake LaMotta, Rocky Graziano, Tony Zale, Willie Pep, Paddy DeMarco, and Petey Scalzo) as comic gangsters.

The plot involves a mafia boss whose unmarried daughter gets pregnant.  The mafioso tries to convince his daughter's boyfriend's aunt (Jane Russell) to approve the marriage.  This leads to a very stupid comedy full of slow motion fights, disguises, wacky music, and cheesy sound effects such as slide whistles and "boinnnnnng!"

This is a really cheap (much of the movie takes place on a set represented by a couple of walls and a curtain with old boxing posters on the walls), stupid movie and the only part I thought was funny was when a bald gangster who bears a resemblance to Yul Brynner says, "I used to be the boss of the Siam gang."  But it was interesting to see all the old-time boxers, especially Jake "Raging Bull" LaMotta and Rocky Graziano (coincidentally, I watched SOMEBODY UP THERE LIKES ME about a week ago).

Thanks again, Something Weird, for bringing us this old, forgotten piece of garbage!
