Trivia
Rita Hayworth, in a financial distress at the time, joined the crew with slight apprehension because of a previous film experience in Italy where she had not been treated well. Georges Lautner later claimed that she was so warmly welcomed by his production team and felt so happy during shooting, she genuinely wept when time came to split up.

Has not aged well.. was once Fresh but now Stale.. Cool Soundtrack though

After seeing the IMDb rating and reading a few reviews I had high hopes for ROAD TO SALINA but unfortunately the Road To Salina heads south pretty fast. The story and dialog are the weakest link. The plot itself sounds interesting : A young drifter appears and is taken in by a strange family as a long lost son.. throw in some incest, a mystery, a very hot and often nude Mimsy Farmer, and Rita Hayworth.. How bad could it be?

Pretty Bad..The nudity is not erotic. The execution of the story is dull and there is no real drama. The acting & cinema photography is mediocre. Perhaps, it was artsy & cool back in the early 1970's but now it's only function is as a sleep aid. The best thing about this movie is the music soundtrack and for that reason alone I give it 2 stars but otherwise I'm Out.
