Danger: Diabolik

Danger: Diabolik is a 1968 crime caper film directed by Mario Bava, based on the Italian comic series Diabolik by Angela and Luciana Giussani.

Dubbing History
Two English-language dubs of Danger: Diabolik were produced, both featuring the voices of Law, Mell, and Terry-Thomas. The original English version, used for the film's theatrical and DVD release, presented the remaining cast dubbed with predominantly British accents. The second version, used for the film's VHS and LaserDisc release (as well as its showing on Mystery Science Theater 3000), was created when the original sound elements for the dubbed version (aside from those of the three aforementioned performers) were believed to be lost; the non-English-speaking actors were dubbed with American accents. This version also greatly remixed the audio levels for the sound effects and music and dropped the Danger: from the original English version's title due to using an Italian print. Glenn Erickson considers the second English version to be "terrible" compared to the original, deeming Celi and Piccoli's performances, in particular, to be negatively affected by the inferior acting of their newer dubbers. The audio masters for the original English version were eventually recovered by Kim Aubry of American Zoetrope, who produced Paramount's DVD release.
