An
unusual giallo - slightly off kilter from the standard Euro thriller fare
- from director Nello Rossati. He was a filmmaker with an active 20 year
Italian career between 1968-1988 (often using the Ted Archer alias), best
known for his cockeyed Django sequel DJANGO STRIKES AGAIN
in 1987. "The Cat in Heat" is an earlier 1972 production with
a team of extraordinary behind-the-scenes technicians including Lamberto
Bava as the assistant director and Aristide Massaccesi (Joe D'Amato) as
the cinematographer.
A wealthy businessman
comes home to a horrific sight. His handsome neighbor has been shot dead
on the front lawn and his wife is sitting at the kitchen table staring
down at a gun. She mutters: "I still love the man I killed"
but remains despondent. After returning to the front yard and hiding the
body, he then demands to know everything from his wife. Her story deals
with hippies, a dose of LSD and the resulting descent into a sex-n-drug
drenched orgy.
