Raro Video will bring to Blu-ray Stelvio Massi's cult poliziotteschi Magnum Cop (1978), starring Maurizio Merli, Joan Collins, Franco Ressel, Werner Pochath, and Annarita Grapputo. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on September 12.
Description: Magnum Cop (Poliziotto Senza Paura) is a gritty Italian action film with an eye-opening performance by Joan Collins (Dynasty) as decadent seductress Brigitte. Wally Spada (Maurizio Merli) is an ex-cop making ends meet as a private detective who gets mixed up in an investigation of a missing girl. This leads him to Austria's underworld and a prostitution racket run by a sleazy femme fatale (Collins). Director Stelvio Massi was inspired by Raymond Chandler's famous detective Philip Marlowe – making Spada a "more human, less violent cop" than the ones Merli was used to playing. So while Magnum Cop has its share of hair-raising action, it's also a charming character piece that shows Merli's range as an actor.
