这部电影普遍缺乏人物发展。影片中有一段情节是,一个长相最可怕的黑帮成员(弗拉维奥·布奇[Flavio Bucci]出演《夜火车谋杀案》[The Night Train Murders])回到家中,与另一个黑帮成员的妻子和孩子住在一起,但除了角色发展之外,这似乎更像是另一场性爱戏的借口。普拉西多这个角色有一个有趣的闪回,他在一艘肮脏的捕鱼驳船上工作,这与他在驾驶一艘游艇的幻想形成对比。这部电影的阶级意识非常强烈,因为它让一个贫穷的西西里男孩爱上了一个富有的北方女孩(意大利名字“La Orca”来自她所穿的名牌服装)。普拉西多在这里很不错,但这位英俊、浅肤色的大块头作为西西里的下层痞子并不太令人信服。至于内豪斯,我不知道她是一个糟糕的演员,还是只是在扮演一个令人讨厌的角色(她更像帕丽斯·希尔顿,而不是帕蒂·赫斯特)。她确实有几次脱光了衣服,从英文名字来看,这是她主要考虑的问题。
The movie is generally lacking in character development. The film at one point follows the creepiest-looking gangster (Flavio Bucci from the "The Night Train Murders") to his home where he is shacking up with another gangster's wife and her kid, but more than character development this seems to be more an excuse for another sex scene. The Placido character has an interesting flashback of him working on a filthy fishing barge, which is contrasted with a fantasy where he is piloting a yacht. This movie is very class-conscious in the way it has this poor Sicilian boy falling for a rich, northern girl (the Italian title "La Orca" comes from the designer outfit she's wearing). Placido is pretty good here, but this handsome, light-complexioned hunk is not too convincing as a lower-class Sicilian ruffian. As for Neihaus, I can't decide if she is a bad actress, or is just playing a really obnoxious character (she's more Paris Hilton than Patty Hearst). She does get naked several times which, judging from the English, title was the primary consideration.
