Did You Know?
| Trivia | The original title of this film, Quelli che contano, roughly translates to "Those That Matter," but it was far too subtle for the U.S. distributor. When Joseph Brenner released the film stateside, it became the easier to sell Cry Of A Prostitute, with a lurid roughie style ad campaign focused on the battered and bloody visage of supporting player Barbara Bouchet.

| Goofs | Even for the split second it's exposed in it's unnaturally lurid green, the customs officer in the opening scene should have recognized the sick "child" the smugglers are carrying with them is actually a clothes mannequin, which should have become all the more clear to the police and doctors in the next scene, gathered around the table where it was laid out and cut open.

Tony Aniante:
[in response to Margie's having thrown herself at him]
Let's cut right through the bullshit. We both know what you are. Margie: [with drunken enthusiasm] A whore! That's more than obvious. I was a hooker when Rico got me in the Bronx. 3 bucks a pop and 2 bucks a handjob , in a car. You think that stops me from being a woman, huh? See more » |
