Carmen Villani At The Movies
'Hippy'
Actress and singer Carmen Villani made her film debut playing a singer in 'A Man For Burning' (1962), a political film co-directed by Valentino Orsini, Paolo Taviani and Vittorio Taviani. She went on to appear in Renzo Russo's 'The Kinky Darlings' (1964) and Dino Risi's 'Mr. Kinky' (1968), recording songs with composer Armando Trovajoli for Risi's picture.
She returned to acting in the mid-1970s and became one of the most popular performers in "commedia all'italiana" comedy films. In the late 1970s, she spent time in Spain where she also found cinematic success appearing in film comedies.

Her music career has seen the release of many records, some of which have been tied to her work in the film industry. In her first ten years of cinema, she had the good fortune to collaborate with some of Italy's great film composers, culminating in a project with the most famous of them all, Maestro Ennio Morricone.

In Memory of Il Maestro
“He has done so many different kinds of scores. He was a traditional composer but with a layer on top that is difficult to describe. He had the knack. The music would go deeper into whatever the movie was, it would bring out something in depth, a theme, a feeling. He was like an X-ray composer. He brought out a part of the theme of the movie that hadn’t been thought of before.”
