Help on sourcing a couple of remarks

There are a couple of remarks by Luigi Cozzi (I think) that I mention in my thesis, which I could remember well enough to paraphrase, but cannot remember their sources.

First, Cozzi remarking that a difference between Bava and Argento's films was that Bava's tended not to play in the first-run circuit (except maybe very briefly) whereas Argento's did.


Second, Cozzi remarking that in Italy producers did not want to know what a film was about, but what films it was like.

Thanks in advance

The Whip and the Body UK poster

Undoubtedly rare, but pretty ugly IMO:

Giallo and Gothic connections

Bava’s The Girl Who Knew too Much has certain affinities with Austen’s Northanger Abbey. In Bava’s film Nora Davis is an American thriller aficionado who travels to Rome and finds herself embroiled in a murder mystery much like those presented in her favourite reading material. In Austen’s novel Gothic enthusiast Catherine Morland visits the titular abbey which, from her reading of The Mysteries of Udolpho, she expects to be a place of Gothic horror and mystery.

Ugly Hatchet for a Honeymoon poster

There's no other way to describe this poster for A Hatchet for the Honeymoon except that it's not the sort of thing you'd probably want to have on your wall and looks like a piece of early video box cover art:

A beautiful Bava poster

For The Whip and the Body:



Presently on Ebay, at a reasonable price, but just a little too large sized for me as a quattro foglio / four sheet that's 55 by 78 inches and in two pieces...
