Viewing Notes

Another from the Forgotten Gialli set. Features Barbara Bouchet! I guessed the killer very early on as it seemed obvious. Decent giallo but not nearly as explicit or exploitative or sleazy as the title would have you believe.

Weirdest thing is the detective imitating Humphrey Bogart from the look to his mannerisms and speaking style. So bizarre yet amusing.
