Anecdotes
The original title of this film, Quelli che contano, roughly translates to "Those That Matter," but it was far too subtle for the U.S. distributor. When Joseph Brenner released the film stateside, it became the easier to sell Cry Of A Prostitute, with a lurid roughie style ad campaign focused on the battered and bloody visage of supporting player Barbara Bouchet.

Gaffes
Even for the split second it's exposed in it's unnaturally lurid green, the customs officer in the opening scene should have recognized the sick "child" the smugglers are carrying with them is actually a clothes mannequin, which should have become all the more clear to the police and doctors in the next scene, gathered around the table where it was laid out and cut open.

Citations
Tony Aniante: [in response to Margie's having thrown herself at him] Let's cut right through the bullshit. We both know what you are.
Margie: [with drunken enthusiasm] A whore! That's more than obvious. I was a hooker when Rico got me in the Bronx. 3 bucks a pop and 2 bucks a handjob , in a car. You think that stops me from being a woman, huh?

A fistful of Silva .......

If you are a big fan of "spaghetti westerns" then I highly recommend "Cry of a Prostitute" as a mafia version of "A Fisful of Dollars". Instead of Clint Eastwood playing both families against each other, you get a brutal Henry Silva. Barbara Bouchet taking milk baths isn't a bad thing to see either. Like the Italian Westerns the plot is secondary to style, and the outstanding soundtrack is an integral part of the story. The editing is choppy and the dubbing atrocious, but this violent film has definite entertainment value. The closeups of Henry Silva's cold black eyes certainly elicits thoughts of Lee Van Cleef, and Silva is every bit as evil as "angel eyes" ................. - MERK
