Furthermore, one of the arguments of Tim Lucas is that the sigle "1.85" is not printed on the Italian posters of the film.
This is probably the most inept argument that I ever met, when you know that Italian movie posters are generally full of errors & mistakes, like the word "Technicolor" for many color films made with a different process, false credits (the original poster for "Night of the Living Dead" giving an "American name" to George A. Romero because the distributor thought than "Romero" sounded "too much Italian", and so on. I even have an Italian poster for "Son of Frankenstein" which simply forget to mention Boris Karloff among the players, so, with this "proof", I can develop a theory that this dear William Henry Pratt never was in the film as well...
One of the most ridiculous examples being the Italian posters and print of the Japanese horror film "Kaidan semushi otoko" (1965, directed by Hajime Satô), known locally as "Il pozzo di Satana" - where ALL the names of Japanese cast and crew are replaced by American names !
