Death Carries A Cane Blu-Ray

Robert Hoffmann (A Black Veil for Lisa), Nieves Navarro aka Susan Scott (The Big Gundown), and George Martín (A Pistol for Ringo) star in Death Carries a Cane, a stylish giallo mystery from director Maurizio Pradeaux (Churchill’s Leopards).

Tourist Kitty (Navarro) stumbles upon a murder whilst looking through coin-operated binoculars. When witnesses start being gruesomely bumped off, Kitty teams up with boyfriend Alberto (Hoffmann) to try and find the black-clad killer... if he doesn’t find her first!

With supporting performances from Rosita Torosh (The Bird with the Crystal Plumage) and Simón Andreu (The Blood Spattered Bride), Death Carries a Cane is a bloody and shocking classic of Italian genre cinema.
