Malfatti, Marina

[Emiliano]

One of her first evil characters in C'era una volta (1967) as Olimpia Capecelatro, princess of Altamura.
A secondary role in which she plays a noblewoman who uses a trick to marry the prince (Omar Sharif), to the detriment of the protagonist, Sophia Loren. Not dubbed.

La última señora Anderson (aka In fondo alla piscina, 1971) as Julie Spencer
This is the first of a rich list of Giallos in which she plays co-primary roles. Like in the following movies, her character will always suffer from a sort of mental disorder, which the actress knows perfectly how to express, through nostalgic notes, alternating with fit of uncontrolled madness. The film is well photographed, and interesting despite a mono-expressive and rather granitic male protagonist. Also goods are the duets with the American blonde star who enjoyed a second artistic youth in Europe: Carol Baker. It seems that the Iberian director particularly appreciates the beauty of the Italian actress, so much so that he offers her several breathtaking close-ups.

[PeplumParadise]

Testa in giù, gambe in aria (1972) credited, as Marina.

Either she is just credited as "Malfatti" or else the notoriously inept Italian title writers have put her first name in white on a white background!
