Spell – Dolce mattatoio

Spell – Dolce mattatoio () is a 1977 Italian film directed by Alberto Cavallone.

Production The sequence with Mónica Zanchi lying on the pool table with her legs spread (her vulva is explicitly seen) was shot in a real bar, very unwillingly; the actress demanded the presence only of the male actor and a cameraman.

Release Spell was distributed in Italy by Stefano Film on 20 May 1977 as Spell – Dolce mattatoio (). After a short run in Italy, it was released as L'uomo, la donna e la bestia () to capitalize on the popularity of Walerian Borowczyk's La Bête. Cavallone commented on the re-titling of the film as "very irritating" and that the re-release was "definitely a shitty title."

Reception In contemporary reviews, Leonardo Autera of Corriere della Sera stated that the film was "redundant, clunky, and amateurishly acted and ultimately, lacking any semblance of style"
