"Platinum Disc Corporation"

Written By: dx27s

One of the absolute worst DVD productions I have ever seen. The company that produced this version is Platinum Disc Corporation of La Crosse, WI. The image is presented full-frame (4:3), and the video and audio quality are both very poor. No subtitles and no special features to speak of either. However, the thing that really amazed me in terms of sheer bold idiocy was this company thinking it would be clever to superimpose their logo on the screen during the actual film! At least now I will remember to NEVER buy anything with the Platinum Disc Corporation logo on it again. (Note that my one-star rating only applies to this DVD edition, not to Dario Argento's film.)

"Movie Mediocracy - Morricone Musical Masterpiece"

Written By: Veritas

This is not as great a film as you would expect
from Dario Argento, but it is very good.
I purchased this film because Dario Argento
is one of the great film artists and I figured
that I could not go wrong
(not necessarily a good assumption,
having seen the awful "Phantom of the Opera").

It is a crime drama, a murder mystery,
an Italian Giallo film by the master of the genre.

There are a number of interesting characters.

The musical score,
composed by the great Ennio Morricone
is a masterpiece.
I enjoy viewing the film repeatedly to
listen to the music in the context for which
it was written and performed.

Add the score for this film to your collection.

"Flawless and Fantastic"

This movie is a true classic, and for the price...it can't be beat. If you have ever liked a Dario Argento film, then get this immediately. If you're wanting to enter the world of Argento's films, this along with Suspiria is a great way to start. Don't pass this film up, it will surprise you for sure. And I challenge you to find a movie similar to this...it's a unique and memorable film from a mastermind of cinema.

Dario Argento fans have nothing to fear, Anchor Bay has done justice to this film. The video transfer from Anchor Bay is simply amazing and the digital 2.0 sound is great. Anchor Bay has given Dario Argento fans "The Cat O' Nine Tails" in it's 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen format. The pristine video transfer is presented in all it's remastered, uncut and unedited glory. In my opinion the acting in this movie is outstanding for a rather obscure film from the 1970's. I think all the actors gave a solid performance in their roles and this film kept me guessing until the very end. Karl Malden portrays a blind man who teams up with a reporter (James Franciscus) to catch a brutal killer on a rampage. Most of the story and action takes place at a research hospital, where the killer tries to conceal the original crime with even more violent murders. I knew nothing about this movie until I picked it up at used dvd store, but it has quickly become one of my favorite movies. Whether you're a hardcore or casual Argento fan, this movie is definitely worth seeing. As a bonus some nice extra's have been included in this version.

DVD Features Include:
*Tales of the Cat - interviews with writer/director Dario Argento, co-writer Dardano Sacchetti, and composer Ennio Morricone
* Theatrical trailers
* TV spots
* Radio spots
* Radio interviews with stars James Franciscus and Karl Malden
* Poster & still gallery
* Talent bios

P.S. This movie will make you think twice the next time someone offers you something to drink.

" A Great Giallo !"

As far as the Argento library goes "The Cat o' Nine Tails" while not his best film is still very very good. As far as the giallo(Violent Italian murder mysteries)go in general,it is truly one of the very best of it's kind. The thing you've got to understand is that a good Dario Argento film is better than most other Director's great films so with that said,yes this can be considered to be a great film! While it isn't quite up to the artistic level of the works from the meastro's prime era of films such as "Deep Red"-"Suspiria"-"Inferno"-"Tenebre" & "The Opera" it does still overflow with the fresh skills that he later hoaned to perfection to create those Masterpieces. Bottom line "Cat" is a must have for true giallo lovers & Dario Argento fans alike.
