*** 1/2 (out of 4)
This thirty-four minute interview with Mario Morra basically plays out like a documentary of his life. He starts off talking about how he got into filmmaking and from here he goes through some of the movies that he worked on including the Mondo movies from Paolo Cavara and Gualtiero Jacopetti. He goes into some really good details about his career with those filmmakers as well as some of the things that he wasn't too happy about. This includes one particular film where he felt the female nudity and the violence was a bit too much. This bonus feature can be found on the WILD BEASTS special edition and that film is also discussed but only briefly.
