CAT 'O NINE TAILS LOBBY CARD SET

The giallo film has left its indelible mark on the history of mystery/horror cinema. "Giallo" means yellow in Italian, and refers to the paperback thrillers with yellow covers that proliferated in Italy after WWII.

Presented here is the US lobby card set for the Italy/France/Germany co-production of Dario Argento's CAT 'O NINE TAILS. Depicting mostly murder scenes from the film, the cards have an appropriate yellow border. Included is the US one-sheet poster.

MY MONSTER SCRAPBOOK: NINE TIMES MORE SUSPENSEFUL...

In his review, the great (and occasionally ascerbic) L.A. TIMES movie critic Kevin Thomas, acknowledged that young director Dario Argento had made "something of a splash" with his previous film, THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE."

With that he dropped the gong on CAT O' NINE TAILS. Citing lousy dubbing as the main culprit, he went on to say that the movie was slow, and, I'll say it for him, boring.
