Scenes That I Love: Giovanni Lombardo Radice Dances in The House on The Edge of the Park

Posted on September 23, 2026 by Lisa Marie Bowman

Today, the Shattered Lens celebrates what would have been the 72nd birthday of the great Italian actor (and my friend), Giovanni Lombardo Radice!

I’ve shared this scene before but I’ll happily share it again. In Ruggero Deodato’s The House On The Edge of the Park, Giovanni Lombardo Radice shows a bunch of rich jerks how he can dance. Dancing with Radice is his frequent co-star, Lorraine De Selle. Wearing the yellow suit is the equally iconic David Hess.

I own this movie and it’s quite an exploitation ride…really great sequence to highlight – the tension in this film is so well realized by the direction and acting.

Many years ago, roughly five hours after watching this scene, I travelled into town and purchased the movie on DVD.
