All the typical genre elements are there including the mysterious killer with the leather gloves, a bit of gore and until 5 minutes before the end we still have no idea who the killer could be. And yet a large part of the film is too standard and contains too few real thrills.

Nice viewer, but we prefer our giallos a little spicier in terms of plot.

George Hilton actually looks a bit like Gert Timmerman (from Gert and Hermien) in this film. In addition, Anita Strindberg is very graceful, but her breasts are somewhat distorted by bad implants. Didn't know they did that back then!

So much for my in-depth analysis of this fine giallo. Thick 3.5 * remains. The new Arrow bluray is highly recommended by the way.

Awesome. This has everything a good giallo needs. There is the influence of Psycho Hitchcock and Mario Bava which are of course good references. Visually, the film has very attractive camera work with some scenes that shoot out. POVs with the killer walking around dressed in black and leather gloves straight out of the book. In addition, there are some pretty ladies walking around in the film who effectively contribute to the plot development. There is the not so smart police inspector who sometimes provides comic relief. Last but not least is enjoying the at times avant garde soundtrack by Bruno Nicoloa - typical for those years. It is a film that exudes style, has exciting and at times also cheesy romantic moments. Top for enthusiasts.
