RELEASE DATE

Winner of the Goldener Bär at the 1963 Berlin Film Festival,
Il Diavolo
is the third feature film by director
Gian Luigi Polidoro
, an Italian film irregular who has signed only a handful of films poised between comedy and eroticism between the '60s and '80s. Written by
Rodolfo Sonego
and interpreted by an
Alberto Sordi
in a state of grace,
Il Diavolo
takes up a theme already addressed by Polidoro and Sonego in
Le Svedesi
of 1960, that is the Italic myth of the Swedish woman and trips to Scandinavia of our unlikely and provincial Latin lovers. A notable success at home and abroad, the film was renamed
To Bed ... or Not To Bed
for the American market and won Alberto Sordi a Golden Globe for best comedy actor in 1964. The soundtrack written by maestro
Piero Piccioni
alternates orchestral songs with a romantic flavor, swing era jazz and lounge sketches with a samba twist. Reissued for the first time on vinyl since its release in 1963, the album represents a perfect compendium of Piccioni's style of the early '60s and one of the first peaks of the collaboration with Sordi and Sonego, an artistic and human partnership built to last.
