Crime | Mystery

Overview

Two seemingly separate stories in New South Wales: a burned, murdered body of a young woman is found on the beach, and a retired inspector makes inquiries; also, Linda, a waitress and ferry attendant, has several lovers and marries one, but continues seeing the others. The police have a suspect in the murder, but the retired inspector is convinced they’re wrong; he continues a methodical investigation. Linda and her husband separate, and there are complications. Will the stories cross or are they already twisted together?

Viewing Notes

Not the usual giallo format but also neat to see a different spin on the sub-genre. After knowing how the story plays out I definitely want to watch it again. This is one of the films in the Giallo Essentials collection by Arrow Films. Not sure I’d call this “essential” given many other better examples but it’s cool that this movie was included.
