Wissenswertes
Lucio Fulci was arrested on child endangerment grounds due to the infamous scene where a fully nude Patrizia (Barbara Bouchet) flirts with the underage Michele (Marcello Tamborra). The charges were dropped when Fulci explained that the actors' close-ups were filmed separately, and that the shot of Michele walking towards Patrizia with a pitcher and glass of orange juice was achieved by having an adult dwarf actor, Domenico Semeraro, stand in for Tamborra (if you look carefully, you will notice how different Semeraro's facial structure is from Tamborra's). Tamborra joked many years later that he wished he could have filmed that scene. But his parents wouldn't even let him see the film until he turned 15.

Patzer
At one point during the fight scene between Martelli and Don Alberto near the end, the camera's shadow can briefly be seen on the ground.

Zitate
Patrizia: Which would you prefer, a kiss or money?

"You Have To Do It Thirteen Times!"...

In a small, idyllic village, far more is going on than meets the eye. When a local boy is found murdered, a suspect is quickly arrested. The police commissioner has serious doubts about the man they've put in jail. It's the second such killing, and it won't be the last.

Director Lucio Fulci's DON'T TORTURE A DUCKLING is a disturbing giallo, due to its subject matter. It is a tale of perversity, superstition / the occult, madness, and revenge. Packed with interesting characters, red herrings, mystery and suspense, this is one of Fulci's most satisfying thrillers.

Florinda Bolkan (A LIZARD IN A WOMAN'S SKIN) is perfect as the insane, shattered Maciara. Her beating is brutal today, and had to be extreme in 1972! Barbara Bouchet (THE FRENCH SEX MURDERS, THE RED QUEEN KILLS SEVEN TIMES) is also good as the VERY free-spirited, Patrizia. Though the bloody, final revelation is a tad overdone, it remains effective...
