Gastaldi ahs also directed six films including one of the first and greatest giallo films of all time, Libido in 1965 starring his wife, Mara Maryl.
 His films have achieved cult status worldwide. Among some of the best-known titles The Whip and the Body, Days of Wrath, My Name is Nobody, The Grand Duel, The Case of the Bloody Iris, and Once Upon a Time in America.

A giorni uscirà negli States  il mio primo romanzo giallo, scritto nella stessa epoca, pubblicato in Italia nelle edicole, SANGUE IN TASCA  che sulla copertina americana  si legge BLOOD IN MY POCKET...
