A paparazzi photographer captures Calabresi's fall, but not the killer, on film. He attempts to blackmail the individual, but the thief pushes him in front of an arriving train, killing him. Calabresi, one of the Institute doctors, confides to his fiancée, Bianca Merusi, that he knows who broke into the Institute and why. Īn unknown individual breaks into the Terzi Medical Institute but apparently takes nothing. Argento admitted in the book Broken Mirrors, Broken Minds: The Dark Dreams of Dario Argento that he was less than pleased with the film, and has repeatedly cited it as his least favorite of all of his films. Though unsuccessful in Europe, it was acclaimed in the United States. Īlthough it is the middle entry in Argento's so-called "Animal Trilogy" (along with The Bird with the Crystal Plumage and Four Flies on Grey Velvet), the "cat o' nine tails" does not directly refer to a literal cat, nor to a literal multi-tailed whip rather, it refers to the number of leads that the protagonists follow in the attempt to solve a murder. It stars Karl Malden, James Franciscus, and Catherine Spaak.
