...record, as vocalists, the girls are harder to tell apart. Only Mel B., whose voice has a bit of grit, stands out; the rest have bright, slight voices, more light than heat, more Wilson Phillips than En Vogue.

It's as if they are so closely copying American pop music that their own distinctive qualities are erased. In fact, most of the songs on Spice sound like '90s hip-hop updates of funk songs from...

As the Sicilian aristocrat in Pietro Germi's wonderfully malicious Divorce Italian Style (1962), he is a creature of tics and slouches, plotting his wife's death and stalking the seraphic Stefania Sandrelli with the gait of a mopey Groucho.
