TetroVideo has acquired the distribution rights to Dead Girls Don't Tango (1992), a currently unavailable thriller that will be released in January by the label in a digitally restored edition (Mediabook + DVD with Italian and French subtitles).
The film is directed by John Carr (Night Train To Terror, Marilyn Alive and Behind Bars) and boasts, in the cast, the presence of Karen Black (Trilogy of Terror, Ballad Macabre), here as a detective.
Dead Girls Don't Tango is written by Philip Yordan, a well-known screenwriter of the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s with a very long career, whose filmography includes more than 100 screenplays (although, there seems to be some doubt about his actual contributions).
In 1954 he won the "Best Story" Oscar for the western film Broken Lance while in the 1980s he signed the script of the horror films Cataclysm, Night Train To Terror, Bloody Wednesday and Supernatural, collaborating, also in 1992, again with John Carr in the thriller Marilyn Alive and Behind Bars.
The story of Dead Girls Don't Tango takes place in San Diego County, with its legendary "La Paloma" movie theater, located in the seaside town of Encinitas. Here a killer, strangles his victims after dancing the tango with them. Among the prime suspects is the mysterious Jack (Kevin Lloyd), a young drifter with a turbulent past who, having just arrived in town, has found work as a cabin boy in the movie theater run by his aunt.
In addition to the aforementioned Karen Black, the cast includes Kevin Lloyd, Christine Burke, Robyn Hussa, Toni Covington, Joseph Campanella, Roger Galloway, David Burnell Smith, and Jim Flynn.
