Assassins are after a prostitute who has come into possession of a cigarette lighter that, unbeknownst to her, contains the negatives that show a politician’s assassination.

Viewing Notes
Fifth movie in the TR TV New Years Eve blind marathon, all movies that Jason hasn’t seen but felt like inviting everyone to join and watch with him (I guess he usually does this marathon on his own every year).
This was a highlight of the marathon even if it was intentionally neutered to remove the sleaze you’d expect from this kind of Italo-erotic thriller. Despite being a giallo adjacent flick featuring prostitutes and “sex scenes” there’s no nudity. Plenty of teases and whatnot but really seems like it was edited for television. Fortunately it’s still a fun albeit sloppy caper with a few inventive flourishes towards the end to make it quite entertaining.
