THE SIXTIES # 173: NESTOR DE VILLA, CARLOS PADILLA, JR., QUIEL SEGOVIA AND AURA AUREA IN "MGA YAPAK NA WALANG BAKAS" (1961)


"Mga Yapak na Walang Bakas" (1961)
Cirio H. Santiago Film Organization
Release Date November 10, 1961/ Dalisay
Based on the story idea of Eddie Romero
Screenplay Augusto Buenaventura
Music Tito Arevalo
Direction Cirio H. Santiago
Cast Nestor de Villa, Carlos Padilla, Jr., Quiel Segovia, Ramon D'Salva, Ruben Rustia, Elvira Reyes, Renato Robles and Aura Aurea (as Emma Monzon)


“Please…Do not reveal the surprise ending of the picture to your friends” says the ad of the 1961 movie No, it’s not a warning from a Hitchcock film, but from the movie, “Mga Yapak na Walang Bakas”. It looks like a copycat of “Psycho”, a Hitchcock 1960 thriller. The ad shows lead star Aura Aurea being hounded by a killer armed with a blunt weapon, same way with Janet Leigh in a shower room scene.
