Cast

Style

Despite the films aggressive title, Deadly Chase was described by Italian film historian Roberto Curti as a film that "moves away from out-and-out poliziotteschi and its worn out schems and moves closer to the melancholic, contemplative vein of film noir".[1]

Production

Deadly Chase was the second of two films directed by Franco Prosperi for producer Pino Buricchi in 1978.[1] The film was shot at Incir de Paolis in Rome and in Nice.[1]

Release

Deadly Chase was distributed theatrically in Italy by Nucleo Star on 8 December 1978.[1] The film grossed a total of 443,627,250 Italian lira.[1] Italian film historian described this gross as poor, stating that the film was "evidence of Merenda's quick commercial decline as well as that of the genre itself"[1]
