Luciana Paluzzi Steals This FilmJun 23, 2008
By Dr. Fred R. Eichelman
"arous"
This is a surprising film in that my family and I wonder why we had not heard more about it. We bought it because we plan to see Ms. Paluzzi again before the year is out and at the time it was purely an autograph item. We, that includes all of us, loved it. Our youngest grandson has a crush on Luciana. She plays a good Genii and does a better job than the TV series that ran about the same time. Television possibly borrwed from this film, thought this is set in Spain when the Moors controlled the nation. It is a great family film and Luciana shows a real flair for comedy. A lovely romance.
