Sexycop (Italian: La Madama) 1976 Italian crime comedy film directed by Duccio Tessari. It is based on the novel with the same name written by Massimo Felisatti and Fabio Pittorru.[2][page needed][3][page needed]

Plot

Cast

Production

Sexycop was based on the novel La Madama written by Massimo Felisatti and Fabio Pittorru.[1] The term Madama itself, was a Rome-based slang for Italy's mobile police, similar to the English slang "the fuzz".[1] The book was the third in a series of novels and was adapted to film by director Duccio Tessari who turned the film into more of a comedy oriented film.[1]

Release

Sexycop was distributed theatrically in Italy by

Italian lire domestically.[1] The film has also been released as La Madama l'agente Minchiello e il caso Patacchioni.[1] Italian film historian Roberto Curti described the Italian box office as "disappointing".[1]

Reception

Curti stated that contemporary critics "ravaged the film".[1] Corriere della Sera's Renato Palazzo found the film to be closer to "the childish comic-adventure series starring Bud Spencer and Terence Hill" noting that "this formula has been frayed for a long time."[1] Orio Caldiron of La Rivista del cinematografo stated that although Tessari has never been a master filmmaker, wondered how far he could have lost his way with the film.[4]
