Italian science-fiction from the 40s

Post by Saimo » Mon Dec 02, 2013 3:55 am

In 1943 an omnibus film called "Gli assi della risata" also fearured this short science-fiction musical, lovingly mocking Flash Gordon, Metropolis and Fred Astaire. The setting is 1999, as seen by Italian audience from 1943.
