Four Flies on Grey Velvet is a 1971 Italian
giallo film written and directed by Dario
Argento. The film is the third in director
Argento's "Animal Trilogy", which started
with The Bird with the Crystal Plumage and
The Cat o' Nine Tails.

Argento did not want to use the "image
caught in the retina" plot device since
it was too fantastic for the giallo genre.
But once Carlo Rambaldi showed him how the
effect would look in the finished film, he
soon changed his mind. This was originally
intended to be Argento's swan song to the
giallo genre. This would later change once
The Five Days did poorly at the box-office.

A high-speed camera equipment (capable of
producing 1000 frames a second) was used
to shoot possibly the first known instance
(in feature films) of following a bullet's
trajectory with high-speed cameras.

To film a car crash and a motion bullet in
its flight, a camera that could produce a
triple digit number of frames per second
and twelve cars were used to get the effect
shown in the film.
