Arrow Video wields THE CAT O'NINE TAILS (review)

A scientist is pushed in front of a train days after someone breaks into the genetics institute in which he is conducting top secret experiments.  As the man's killer takes out subsequent victims, a blind crossword puzzle creator, his niece, and a young reporter try to piece together disparate clues to discover who the killer is and why he is killing in Dario Argento's follow-up to THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE.  Karl Malden, James Franciscus, and Catherine Spaak star.
