In one of her last films Jayne Mansfield probably signed on to do this film for the price of a ticket to Europe to film Dog Eat Dog on a nice plush Mediterranean island in Yugoslavia. Other than a tax write off I can't see any other reason for appearing in this trash.
Jayne's the moll of gangster Ivor Salter who has just pulled off a robbery of US currency traded by tourists for European denominations and has further attempted to dump partner Cameron Mitchell. Mitchell gets tossed off a cliff, but he lives and is out for revenge.
They all wind up fleeing the authorities on some resort island where the guests and management of the hotel are all a bit flaky, but not flaky enough to not want a cut of the loot, or all of the loot. Then people start getting very dead.
I'm curious about the reaction to the film, people seem either to think this is great avant garde cinema or like me they think it trash. I can't see any great entertainment value here. Not even color cinematography which is a must in the Mediterranean.
I'm wondering why Werner Peters was dubbed, his thick Teutonic accent is part of his persona. Normally playing Nazis, Peters here is a musician and companion to the crazy lady who runs the hotel. Why he wasn't speaking in his normal accent is beyond me. He speaks a concise English in other and better films.
In fact everybody here has appeared in something way much better than Dog Eat Dog.
