Customer Reviews

Agatha Christie meets Reservoir Dogs
This DVD contains a very crisp, virtually flawless copy of this pretty weird but visually beautiful black and white movie. The plot is inspired by Agatha Christie's Ten Little Indians: People are holed up on an island in the Mediterranean and somebody is killing them off one by one. There is quite some gore and brutality. One character's face is covered with blood throughout the movie, although one would think he has plenty of occasions to wash it off. Jayne Mansfield's eye makeup starts running, too. What's more, she has a shiner (result of a fight with an other lady on a small fishing boat)! She basically plays a parody of herself and is quite effective in that role. Cinematography and set design are of high quality and make Dog eat Dog something like an offbeat arthouse movie. Did Quentin Tarantino ever watch it? The whole set up reminded me repeatedly of his Reservoir Dogs.

Interesting bonus material contains two short b&w newsreel items, one about Mansfield's visit to Budapest with then husband Micky Hargitay - apparently made by a Hungarian crew for Hungarian moviegoers (the visit was made en route to the set of Dog eat Dog in Yugoslavia). The second is a very short announcment of Mansfield's untimely death with stock footage showing her with the British Queen's sister, Princess Margaret (of all people). Echoes from the past ...

A TOTAL JAYNE DELIGHT! CAMP! CAMP! CAMP!
This movie is a howl from beginning to end! If your a Mansfield fan, you'll love it! Jayne looks fantastic with her overprocessed cotton candy bubble hairdo. She's Funny, sexy, and camp, all at the same time. As far as Jayne's later career b-movies, relying on Jayne's name to make it worth seeing, this IS THE ONE! BUY IT! You'll watch it more than once..... Guaranteed!

A MUST SEE MOVIE!
So cool! So different! Cameron Mitchell is superb, and so is Jane Mansfield in one of her best parts!
This is an inspiring thriller,well made, and far from mainstream movies of the past and present.
A must see original, with a strong script,and desperate
characters!
