What Have They Done to Your Daughters? (1974)
HE'S NO ANGEL, HE'S JUST A BIKER FROM HELL! The naked body of a schoolgirl leads the police to a teenage prostitution ring as vice and corruption explode onto the Italian streets in a blaze of machete-wielding fury. When suspects in the case are killed by a mysterious stranger clad in motorbike leathers, the police realise that the trail of corruption goes all the way to the top, and set their sights on busting the case wide open. But as the body count rises, the crash-helmet-wearing motor-psycho colours the mean streets red in a bid to stop them. Massimo Dallamano's masterful hybrid of giallo mystery and poliziotteschi thriller is interwoven with breakneck chase-sequences and a deeply cool soundtrack to create a landmark in 70s European cinema. What Have They Done To Your Daughters? (cert. 18) is released uncut (for the first time in the UK) on DVD by Shameless Screen Entertainment. The film will be presented remastered in 1.85:1 with English 2.0 sound. Also included on the disc is a Shameless original trailer gallery.

    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Farley Granger, the American actor known for Alfred Hitchcock's "Rope" (1948) and "Strangers on a Train" (1951), appeared as the murdered schoolgirl's father Mr. Polvesi and had his voice dubbed by another performer in the English-language version of the film.
    • Goofs
      In the scene when Cassinelli and Ralli are looking at a strip of film footage, they repeatedly stop the projector to pause on a single frame. However, the shadow of the projector plainly reveals that it is still rolling.
    • Quotes
      • Bruno Paglia: [while speaking with Roberto] Alright, you wanna wake the whole building?
    • Crazy credits
      An on-screen disclaimer appears immediately following the opening credits: "Every day we read or hear about brutal things that happen and which appear to have no logical explanation. Only a faithful reconstruction of such incidents can bring to light the dramatic and disturbing truth behind them." The device was a common framing convention in Italian poliziottesco productions of the early 1970s, positioning fictionalized narratives as grounded in documentary reality.
