Review: Confessions of a Lady Cop

"Confessions of a Lady Cop" (or more literally "The Policewoman Makes a Career") is sort of an Italian precursor to Police Academy. It kicked off a threesome of Edwige Fenech slapstick comedies.

Fenech plays the daughter of an apartment house doorman, but dreams of becoming a policewoman. Her obvious charms do not go unnoticed, and she is accepted to the police academy. While she had some misadventures at the academy, her "talents" got her through graduation, and she instantly came to the attention of the police commissioner. Her first few assignments did not go well, but she ended up a hero while remaining a virgin - barely.

The film is filled with recurring gags. The police commissioner has terrible luck at office gadgets like a water fountain and a buzzer, while Fenech likes to hit other cars with hers.

If you are an Edwige Fenech fan, you should see it because she is in nearly every scene, sometimes topless, and looking sexy even when dressed. Regrettably, the film is not available in English or with English subtitles. Of course, much of the humour is visual and physical, so the language problem is not as bad as it could be, but I would really like to see a dubbed, or at least a subtitled version of this film.
