The Belle Starr Story
Il mio corpo per un poker
1968
Synopsis
The Old West, late 19th century. After a childhood dominated by men, Belle Starr rebels by transforming herself into a female Jesse James and out-rides, out-smokes, out-shoots and out-gamble them all.
Editorial
Wearing trousers and smoking cigars, Elsa Martinelli shines in this singular film as a sensitive but tough outlaw whom men approach at their own risk. Rare in centering a woman, this spaghetti western shows co-director Lina Wertmüller’s knack for rich portraits that never forgo sensuality or fun.
