Arthur Anderson loses his third wife under dubious circumstances (like his previous two) but a jury clears him of murder. Into his life comes the mysterious Julie Spencer and they get married. Is he a murderer and will she become his fourth victim? The movie is rather pedestrian and the last part although livelier doesn't make much sense. It looks attractive in 'Technicolor' and 'Techniscope' and the prolific Piero Umiliani provides a suitable music score as usual. On the acting side Carroll Baker is eminently watchable. In the dubbed version I watched the Scotland Yard detective has a hilarious Welsh accent which rather marred his character. It's a Spanish/Italian giallo set in England that needed more excitement.
