"Lizard in a Woman's Skin" (a.k.a. "Una Lucertola con la pelle di donna") is an Italian giallo film directed by Lucio Fulci. It was released in 1971. The film follows the daughter of a respected politician by the name of Carol Hammond (Florinda Bolkan), who experiences a series of vivid, psychedelic nightmares consisting of depraved sex orgies and LSD. In the dream she commits a graphic murder and awakes to a real life criminal investigation into the murder of her neighbor.
The film is perhaps most famous for a scene in which Mrs. Hammond opens the door to a room filled with dogs that are apparently being experimented on. The dogs are cut open with their hearts and guts still pulsating. The scene was so graphic and realistic, that several crew members were forced to testify in court to disprove the accusation that real dogs were used in the film. Carlo Rambaldi, a special effects artist, saved Fulci from a two-year prison sentence by presenting the fake dog props in court to a seemingly unconvinced judiciary. This was the first time in film history that an effects artist had to prove his work was not real in a court of law.
