It is one of the more famous and well made Giallo thrillers produced in Italy. This somewhat controversial gore flick follows a twisted killer played by Jean Louis Trintignant. It comes off like a vintage period piece for the sixties, extremely colorful, vintage shadow-draped cinematography and very sexy.
It has more of a pop culture beat than expected of the genre, which is usually dark. The avant guard soundtrack is definitely off-putting.
It is rare that a Giallo in this period has no nudity. This is to be expected with Gina Lollobrigida in the lead, as the most she ever showed was her butt. Ewa Aulin was wasted as she has many many nude roles. Lollabrigida never achieved the film status of Sophia Loren and Brigitte Bardot. It's not surprise as Bardot had many nude roles, and Loren had a few, but Lollabrigida...well
