THE GIRL WITH A PISTOL is an awfully mindless Italian comedy of 1968, distinctive for being partially set in the UK. The extremely slim storyline involves a girl being slighted by her boyfriend, who then absconds to London; she gives chase packing a pistol; what follows is a series of poorly-linked vignettes involving the various characters she meets along the way. It's campy and cheesy, acted in that over the top manner I always find so grating, and perhaps of note only for featuring a rare turn from Stanley Baker later in his career, playing a doctor. Otherwise, it's something of a dog's dinner.
