Viewing Notes

Very roundabout giallo that features Tom Skerritt and Eli Wallach dubbed in Italian. It’s almost RASHOMON-like but really just an unreliable narrator scenario as a flashback sequence is explained in different ways. I like this flick and wouldn’t mind adding to my small collection of gialli.
