Spell – Dolce mattatoio () is a 1977 Italian film directed by Alberto Cavallone.
Release
Spell was distributed in Italy by Stefano Film on 20 May 1977 as Spell – Dolce mattatoio (). After a short run in Italy, it was released as L'uomo, la donna e la bestia () to capitalize on the popularity of Walerian Borowczyk's La Bête. Cavallone commented on the re-titling of the film as "very irritating" and that the re-release was "definitely a shitty title."
Reception
In contemporary reviews, Leonardo Autera of Corriere della Sera stated that the film was "redundant, clunky, and amateurishly acted and ultimately, lacking any semblance of style"
