Overview

"Charleston" (original title: Charleston) is a witty 1977 Italian-British comedy directed by Marcello Fondato, starring the charismatic Bud Spencer in a rare solo role without his usual partner, Terence Hill. The film revolves around Joe Lo Monaco, a quirky and anxious American casino ship owner, who is desperate to get rid of his financially failing floating casino.

To escape his troubles, Joe devises a series of elaborate cons and hilarious deceptions, drawing in a cast of eccentric characters including swindlers, mobsters, and schemers. What follows is a fast-paced ride of comic mishaps, trickery, and unpredictable alliances. Spencer's comedic timing and physical humor shine throughout the film, adding charm and energy to every scene.

With a lighthearted tone and clever plot, Charleston is a fun, unpredictable comedy that showcases Bud Spencer’s solo star power, delivering laughs and clever twists all the way to its final act.

Both films revolve around characters navigating through deception, but Charleston adds a layer of humor and chaos, enhancing the comedic elements that define its unique tone.
• Spencer's Perspective: Bud Spencer himself was not particularly fond of Charleston, feeling that it deviated from his usual action-comedy roles. He noted that the film lacked the physicality and boxing scenes that had become a hallmark of his career, leaving him less enthusiastic about the project.
• Cinematic Style: Charleston exemplifies the late 70s cinematic trend of blending comedy with caper elements, a combination that was quite popular in many of Spencer's films during that period. While it lacks the usual action-packed scenes, it still delivers the sharp humor and entertaining dynamics Spencer was known for, albeit through a different lens.
