Nicknames: "80s Torch Lady", "Torch Lady"

Logo: It's the same as the 1981 Columbia Pictures logo, but with a few differences.

• The logo is shown in a red shade (this may be caused by film deterioration).
• After the sunburst, "Columbia Pictures" appears on either side of the Torch Lady with "Italia" at the bottom.
• There is a second sunburst before fading out (due to looping the logo back to the beginning).

Variant: Another version is seen. There is no red shade and after the fade from the first sunburst, the logo freezes just as the second sunburst is about to appear before fading out.

FX/SFX: Same as the 1981 Columbia Pictures logo, plus the second sunburst.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Extremely rare. Seen on The 1988 film Il Piccolo Diabolo (The Little Devil). The variant appears on the 1987 film Io e mia sorella (Me and My Sister).

Editor's Note: A cheaply-done adaptation of the 80s torch lady. You can tell it was just looped, plus the company text is cheaply chyroned on.
