Viewing Notes

Such a weird, strange movie for Eastwood to do, and also have his real life young daughter playing the role as one of his daughters. And thus we kick off a special Giallo movie night! Great location shooting in New Orleans and nice to see a policeman depicted as not just human but also sexually “deviant” without it being criminal. I can’t help but think there’s a much different (not necessarily better) movie on the cutting room floor.
