Amori pericolosi is a 1964 anthology film consisting of three segments directed by Alfredo Giannetti, Carlo Lizzani and Giulio Questi. [1]
Director Giulio Questi was a last minute addition as a director for Amori pericolosi. [4] Questi recalled that Peppino Amato and Moris Ergas were both the initial producers for the film and that Amato died which led to Ergas taking over as the producer. [4] The film was shot in 1961 and only released later in 1964. [4]
Amori pericolosi was distributed theatrically in Italy by Cineriz on 14 August 1964. [3] The film grossed a total of 48,300,000 Italian lire. [3] Film historian and critic Roberto Curti described the films box office presence in Italy as being "passed unnoticed". [5]
According to Curti, critics did not like Amori pericolosi, especially "Il passo" directed by Giulio Questi, with critic Alberto Abruzzese finding it conveying "an old and decrepit theme with a formal refinement that was between mannered decadence and a misunderstood naturalism." [5] [6] [5]
