Don't Torture a Duckling (Italian:
Non si sevizia un paperino) is a 1972 Italian
giallo film directed by
Lucio Fulci. It is significant within Fulci's filmography as it is one of the first in which he began using violent gore effects, something he would continue to do in his later films, most notably
Zombi 2,
The Beyond and
City of the Living Dead. The soundtrack was composed by
Riz Ortolani and features vocals by
Ornella Vanoni.
