Big, creepy looking Victor Buono is released after serving 3 years in a mental institution but it's not long before he's committing murder and turning his victims into sausage meat at his Vienna butcher's shop. Watched this on VHS as Strangler of Vienna. I think a better title would have been The Mad Butcher of Vienna. Anyway it is a black comedy, very similar to Sweeney Todd. Very little gore in the print that I saw so and apparently uncut, so I'd question the parents guide here. The film dies suffer from bad dubbing but there are some colourful characters, the humour works reasonably well and we get a few instances of female nudity. Pretty tame by today's standards.
