This rare Italian film starring Ricardo Montalban features a very good rack scene with Franca Bettoia tortured by her interrogator, which culminates when he orders his henchman to burn her with a hot iron. It’s simulated as the camera moves closer on her face as smoke rises from below, and she looks to be very much in pain. Very nice. BTW, this film was originally shot in color but has sadly faded to the sickly shade of green you see now…a good argument for film preservation. VIDEO LINK
