Jayne Mansfield stars in this trashy-hip tale of cat-and-mouse intrigue set on the intoxicating shores of the Mediterranean. DOG EAT DOG casts Mansfield, Cameron Mitchell, and Ivor Salter as a band of thieves who embezzle $1 Million in cash from the US Treasury and escape to a not-so-deserted island. 

Along the way, the crew crosses paths with a nefarious cast of characters including opportunistic hotel manager (Aldo Camarada) and his ice princess sister (Dodie Heath). Through a series of dirty tricks and double deals, the loot comes up missing, as each character seeks revenge and the cold hard cash. It’s every man and woman for themself as the body count rises along the sun-drenched coast. 

With hair-pulling catfights, blond bombshells, overripe dialogue, and a classy cast of European thespians, DOD EAT DOG is a sexy cult classic.
