Viewing Notes
whoa this is some weird ass shit. Cozzi has colorized the ‘56 KOTM, dubbed it in Italian and added extra war/sci-fi imagery. This is the Geno Cuddy restoration that’s on Archive.org. It’s not subtitled but if you’ve seen KOTM than you already know the story/lines that Raymond Burr says. He just speaks Italian in this version. The color is wild.
