Lino Capolicchio, an Italian actor, made his mark in the 1970s with his performances in genre films that explore the fringes of human experience. In Your Hands on My Body (1970), he embodies a complex character navigating erotic tension and moral ambiguity, while in The Bloodstained Shadow (1978), he plays a pivotal role that intertwines mystery with psychological depth. Capolicchio's contributions to these cult classics highlight the unique blend of exploitation and artistry that defines much of the era's cinema.

Finally, Andrea wins Carol over but is still tormented by the fear of losing his own private world of memories and macabre games...
