The plot is very simple and straight forward. A young widower returns to his estate with a new and beautiful wife. The only problem is, his first wife died in a bizarre accident that has never been solved.
It's the characters that are somewhat complex in this film. First you hae the brooding husband Oliver (Jose Antonio Amor) and his gorgeous new wife Ruth (Daniela Giordano) who seem to be in love, but Ruth becomes suspicious of Oliver after she catches him telling some lies.
Olivers sister Jenny (Teresa Gimpera) is a very hot and sexy woman who was having an affair with Oliver's first wife, Helen (Gioia Desideri) and then you have Sara (Nuria Torray) who was Oliver's fathwrs' wife. but now she has the hots for him.
It's one of the most sordid list of characters I have seen in a giallo, and it never gets too carried away on the bizarre behavior. There is a throat slashing killer on the loose as well, and we don't have any killings until about the last half hour, and then all hell breaks loose.
There are not a lot of red herrings in this film, and when the killer is finally identified the viewer isn't surprised, but that doesn;t make this a bad fim at all. The cast is full of gorgeous women as is the usual case for fare like this.
Giordano stands out however. She was a former Miss Italy and I would watch anything with her in it.
If you're a fan of Italian Giallo films, I highly recommend this little gem.
