Overview

Description

Prolific Italian filmmaker Duccio Tessari (La Morte Risale a Ieri Sera) returned to the giallo field with this first-rate detective thriller which begins with a French co-ed (Carole Andre) repeatedly stabbed in a park during a thunderstorm. The suspicion falls on sportscaster Alessandro Marchi (Giancarlo Sbargia), who is being framed (or so it seems) by his trysting wife (Ida Galli, aka Evelyn Stewart) and lawyer (Gunther M. Stoll). Unfortunately, while Marchi is being railroaded into prison, the murders begin anew, and Marchi is released to face the dead girl's grieving lover (Helmut Berger), whose motives would later be echoed in even better Italian thrillers such as Tenebre.~Robert Firsching

Owned for 1 week when reviewed.
If this is considered a giallo, it is a strong second-tier offering. Interesting premise: A man is convicted of murdering a young girl, he claims innocence, his wife and lawyer want him out of the way, and while he's in prison a similar murder occurs. Some good actors in this one. Especially catching my eye is Wolfgang Preiss, who I know from The Longest Day and the Dr. Mabuse movies.

This is another example of what a great Giallo is. Arrow, as usual delivers the goods.
