Kino Lorber have detailed their upcoming Blu-ray release of Pierre Desagnat's
Vertigo for a Killer(1970), starring Marcel Bozzuffi, Sylva Koscina, and Michel Constantin. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on June 9.
Description: Marcel Bozzuffi (The French Connection), Sylva Koscina (Trapped by Fear) and Michel Constantin (Violent City) give perfectly hard-boiled performances in this Eurocrime gem directed by Jean-Pierre Desagnat (Les Étrangers, OSS 117: Double Agent). When hitman Marc (Bozzuffi) refuses to liquidate his friend René (Constantin), he becomes a target himself. In order to escape his former boss and his ruthless thugs, he seeks support from the sultry Sylvie Dussort (Koscina), who offers him shelter on the Riviera. What Marc does not know is that the lady has a hidden agenda. Swirling with Hitchcockian suspense and a Eurowestern score, Vertigo for a Killer (Vertige pour un tueur) delivers the neo-noir goods.
