Director Luigi Scattini had previously worked with the beautiful model-turned-actress Zeudi Araya in "The Sinner" (1972) and in a previous film that I have not had the pleasure of viewing. Even though she was constantly typecast as the beautiful barefoot island girl, it was always obvious that Araya was having a good time. Casting "Il Corpo" with such tried-and true talents as Leonard Mann, Enrico Maria Salerno, Carroll Baker and Ms. Araya, it is equally obvious that Scattini had a good time, and the result is a dramatic, slightly erotic thriller that begs to be seen. The story is simple and familiar: Mann comes to work for Salerno and his common-law wife Araya, and with Salerno going away from time to time, Mann and Araya fall for each other, and the classic love triangle develops. From here, though, Scattini takes his characters in not-so-obvious directions and leads them them all down the path toward self-destruction.
"Il Corpo" boasts an exquisite score by Piero Umiliani (a soundtrack CD is still available) which gets more melancholy as the film heads toward its not-very-happy ending, and Scattini's direction and photography are in top form. Carroll Baker has only a few scenes, and one gets the impression that she filmed her scenes apart from the rest of the cast. Nevertheless, she manages to steal her scenes with her wry, dead-on performance. Mann and Salerno are also in top form, as they usually are. But again the real treat is the exotic beauty Araya, whose performance as Princesse is enticing yet haunting, sexy yet credible, and some of the mysteries surrounding her character are not fully addressed by the film's script, leaving the viewer to interpret matters for him/herself.
