Un sacco bello (1980) represents Carlo Verdone's film debut as an actor, writer and director following his television years. It featured a screenplay by Carlo Verdone, Leo Benvenuti, and Piero De Bernardi, photography by Ennio Guarnieri, editing by Eugenio Alabiso, music by Ennio Morricone,
production by Sergio Leone, distribution by Medusa-Pentavideo, and a cast starring Carlo Verdone, Isabella De Bernardi, Mario Brega, Renato Scarpa, Veronica Miriel, Luciano Bonanni, Filippo Trincia, Filippo Ciro, Sandro Ghiani, Fausto Di Bella, Pietro Zardini, and Maria Mizar Ferrara.
The plot
In a semi-deserted Rome during a hot August, the story of the three main characters is told. Enzo, a bold young man who likes to boast of his gallant adventures with women, plans to travel to Krakow in his sports car, so he seeks out a travelling companion. After a long search, he manages to convince his friend Sergio, who contracts an illness as soon as he leaves the capital city, so Enzo needs to find a replacement as soon as possible.
Leo is an awkward young man who lives in Trastevere with his mother, who is waiting for him by the sea to spend mid-August together. However, the young man is delayed by Marisol, a beautiful Spanish tourist who asks him for help. Shy and naive, Leo finds himself forced to host the exuberant foreigner at home, but just when something tender seems to be blossoming between the two, her boyfriend arrives…
Ruggero and his girlfriend Fiorenza arrive in Rome after a long stay in a hippie community. There, the boy meets his father, who invites them home. With the help of Father Alfio and Professor Anselmo, the man hopes to convince his son to get back on the right track.
The music
Un sacco bello marks the first collaboration between Ennio Morricone and Carlo Verdone, resulting in a very pleasant score that accompanies the situations of each episode. A rhythmic funky piece (Tr.1) opens both the film and our CD, but the bulk of the soundtrack is based on variations of theme for Marisol, the Spanish girl that Ennio Morricone describes with different styles and arrangements: rhythmic and vivacious (Tr.2), slow and nostalgic for flute and guitar (Tr.3), romantic and dreamy performed by the orchestra (Tr.4,Tr.7), and a slow, rhythmic passage with moog (Tr.5). A samba for trumpet with mute, percussion and moog describes the atmosphere of a bourgeois living room (Tr.6). The finale of the film features the unmistakable whistle of Alessandro Alessandroni and the flugelhorn of Oscar Valdambrini accompanied by the orchestra (Tr.12). At the time, Cinevox Records released a 45 rpm single (MDF 127) with the themes "Un Sacco Bello (Titoli di coda)" and "Un salotto borghese." Then, we had to wait until 2002, when Cinevox Records released a CD (MDF 352) entitled BIANCO ROSSO E MORRICONE, featuring selections from "Un Sacco Bello" and "Bianco Rosso e Verdone". For this new CD edition with a duration of 40:00, we were able to access the first generation stereo master tapes of the recording sessions, which allowed us to discover three unreleased tracks: an alternate version of "Un salotto borghese" and two beautiful versions of the love theme vocalized by Nora Orlandi, who carries the motif through the end credits. A fitting homage to the art of Ennio Morricone and Carlo Verdone.

『Un sacco bello』（1980年）は、カルロ・ヴェルドーネがテレビ時代から俳優、脚本家、監督として映画デビューした作品。脚本はカルロ・ヴェルドーネ、レオ・ベンヴェヌーティ、ピエロ・デ・ベルナルディ、撮影はエンニオ・グァルニエリ、編集はエウジェニオ・アラビソ、音楽はエンニオ・モリコーネ、
トラックリスト製作はセルジオ・レオーネ、出演はカルロ・ヴェルドーネ、イザベッラ・デ・ベルナルディ、マリオ・ブレガ、他。
『Un sacco bello』は、エンニオ・モリコーネとカルロ・ヴェルドーネの初コラボレーション作品であり、各エピソードのシチュエーションに寄り添う非常に心地よいスコアが生まれた。リズミカルでファンキーな曲（Tr.1）が映画とこのCDのオープニングを飾るが、サウンドトラックの大部分は、エンニオ・モリコーネがさまざまなスタイルとアレンジで描くスペイン娘マリソルのテーマのバリエーションに基づいている：リズミカルで快活な曲（Tr.2）、フルートとギターのためのスローでノスタルジックな曲（Tr.3）、オーケストラによるロマンティックでドリーミーな曲（Tr.4,Tr.7）、ムーグによるスローでリズミカルな曲（Tr.5）。ミュート、パーカッション、ムーグによるトランペットのためのサンバは、ブルジョワの居間の雰囲気を描写している（Tr.6）。映画のフィナーレでは、アレッサンドロ・アレッサンドローニの紛れもない口笛と、オスカー・ヴァルダムブリーニのフリューゲルホルンがオーケストラの伴奏で登場する（Tr.12）。当時、シネヴォックス・レコードから "Un Sacco Bello (Titoli di coda) "と "Un salotto borghese "をテーマにした45回転シングル（MDF 127）が発売された。その後、2002年にシネヴォックス・レコードから "Un Sacco Bello "と "Bianco Rosso e Verdone "を収録したBIANCO ROSSO E MORRICONEというタイトルのCD（MDF 352）がリリースされるまで待たなければならなかった。この新しいCD版（40分）では、レコーディング・セッションの第一世代ステレオ・マスター・テープにアクセスすることができ、3曲の未発表トラックを発見することができた。"Un salotto borghese "の別バージョンと、ノーラ・オルランディがヴォーカルをとった愛のテーマの2つの美しいバージョン。エンニオ・モリコーネとカルロ・ヴェルドーネの芸術へのオマージュにふさわしい。
暑い8月の半砂漠のローマで、3人の主人公の物語が語られる。女性との颯爽とした冒険を自慢したがる大胆な青年エンツォは、スポーツカーでクラクフへ行く計画を立て、旅の仲間を探す。長い探索の末、友人のセルジオを説得するが、彼は首都を出たとたんに病気にかかり、エンツォは一刻も早く代わりの男を見つけなければならなくなる。
レオはトラステヴェレで母親と暮らす不器用な青年で、8月中旬を一緒に過ごそうと海辺で彼を待っていた。しかし、スペイン人観光客のマリソルに助けを求められる。内気で世間知らずのレオは、この奔放な外国人を家でもてなすことを余儀なくされるが、2人の間に優しいものが芽生えそうになった矢先、彼女の恋人がやってくる...。
ルッジェーロとガールフレンドのフィオレンツァは、ヒッピー・コミュニティでの長期滞在を終えてローマに到着する。そこでルッジェーロは父親に出会い、家に招待される。アルフィオ神父とアンセルモ教授の助けを借りて、ルッジェーロは息子に正しい道に戻るよう説得する。 1980年イタリア。
