'Summertime Killer' offers competent B-Movie Action, directed by Antonio Isasi-Isasmendi.
Antonio Isasi helmed a number of cool thriller movies (That Man in Istanbul, They came to rob Las Vegas, The Dog),
often with this special Spanish touch and all shot by Cinematographer Juan Gelpí.
Director Isasi is an interesting film freak, a self-made movie mogul!
He is usually one of the producers of his films, participates in the work on the screenplay and
shoot the whole thing in his own Studio!
The 'Isasi Estudios Cinematograficos' in Barcelona (Spain).
This is your invitation to the World Premiere of 'Summertime Killer'. Cakes and drinks are free!
You should not miss this! I have already refueled my time machine!

IEC Studios - Isasi Estudios Cinematografico.
Drawing of the Front of the Studio out of the official IEC pressbook from the 70s.
'They came to rob Las Vegas' was the first film for the Studio, of course directed by Antonio Isasi.
The studio had great plans and at least the same great dreams.
10 to 12 films every year should be produced on the Stages of the Studios.
But there were fewer and fewer film productions and many empty studios.
The golden times were over!
The Isasi Studios became a big TV studio in the 70s.
From 1973 onwards, the Catalan TV station TVE produced here. In the 90s it was the TV station TV3.
What happened after that? Is the studio still available today?
Probably not. Dissolved, like many others.
