Writer/director Paolo Black Belly of the Tarantula Cavara's quasi-autographical 1967 shocker stars Phillippe Leroy (The Night Porter) as a morally bankrupt documentary filmmaker, a character apparently inspired by Cavara's previous association with "mondo" director Gualtiero Jacopetti of Africa Addio infamy. Also with Delia Boccardo (Tentacles), Lars Bloch from Juliette DeSade, and the ubiquitous Gabriele Tinti (Beaks: The Movie). AIP released it domestically the following year to little notice, though it was a surprise hit at the fifth annual Moscow Film Festival.
