According the own words of Umberto Lenzi interview he says that Gatti Rossi should be made totally free by a friend producer that was in financial troubles, however fate decreed that such guy didn't got a distribution to the movie, then he went forward and making a deal with Estela Films from Spain, became it in an Italian-Spanish co-production, He also states that it had an average box-office by era's standards, he casting the picture using some Italian and Spanish actors, the main character Martine Brochard from France and John Richarson from America.
The exotic title Gatti Rossi in un Labirinto di Vetro means those rossi raincoats gave by the tour guide when starting raining in a sequence and finally the labirinto di vetro means the sightseeing bus encircled of glass, all tourist came from America and Lenzi wants avoid those stereotypical randomly serial killer's pictures, thus the killer must be among those American tourist at sunshine Barcelona, that was the main idea, then he scattered many hints along the picture aiming for to puzzle the audience.
The summarized plot comprises in a small group of Americans touring at Barcelona when a killer made his first female victim taking out just one left eye, the Inspector Tudela (Andrés Mejuto) starts investigate at once, all American group somehow were there, meanwhile one of them Mark Burton (John Richardson) was there by any touristic purpose, he is a businessman and meeting his secretary Paulette Stone (Martine Brochard) which has an affair whilst Mark makes your mind about his sad marriage, in the meantime the killer strikes again now is Lisa Sanders (Mirtha Miller) a photographer that has a lesbian affair with the black girl Naiba Campbell (Ines Pellegrini), among the tourists have a bleak character Rev. Bronson (George Rigaut) often nearby when the murders took place, nonetheless all evidences are pointed out to Mark Stone as the real killer.
A minor movie from Lenzi, a mid-level casting linked a pointless killings carried out by the real killer are a weakest points of a lowest offer, further the shortened of nude scenes that often appears in this special genre were restrained in so few of them, the outcome is fairly appalling and nonsensical at least, no gorgeous girls in the common of acceptation of that term, even so watchable for Umbert Lenzi.
