*** (out of 4)

Director Umberto Lezni, actor Ray Lovelock and screenwriter Ernesto Gastaldi are interviewed for this thirty-five minute documentary that takes a look at the 1974 crime picture ALMOST HUMAN. Lenzi starts off talking about why he doesn't feel it's a crime picture but instead a French film noir. From here a lot of the running time is devoted to Lovelock who talks about the production, his character, working with Tomas Milian and his thoughts on the picture. Lenzi talks about the film's violence and what he thought of the characters and ends his part discussing Quentin Tarantino. The screenwriter also adds a few nice stories about his job. If you're a fan of ALMOST HUMAN then you'll certainly enjoy this featurette, which has plenty of nice stories about the production as well as some crazy stuff that was going on behind the scenes.
