CONFESSIONS OF A LADY COP

Cinemavixion Review

Michele Massimo Tarantini's "Confessions of a Lady Cop" offers a peculiar blend of comedy and crime, anchored by a premise that feels both dated and surprisingly progressive for its 1976 release. Edwige Fenech stars as a woman whose striking looks, rather than investigative prowess, land her a spot on the police force, much to the chagrin of her commissioner neighbor, Mario Carotenuto. The film charts her chaotic journey through training and early cases, a path marked by mishaps that somehow lead to a promotion. While the narrative leans into slapstick and the occasional risqué situation, it's Fenech's spirited performance and the film's unique, albeit bumpy, trajectory that make it a curious watch. It's a film that, despite its flaws, invites a second glance at its unconventional protagonist and her unlikely rise through the ranks.
