FRENCH SEX MURDERS 1972 (VINEGAR SYNDROME) BLU-RAY

Very well made Giallo that always gets a bad rap.

Barbara Bouchet is Francine, a gorgeous prostitute who is murdered one night after being visited by a crazy man named Antoine (Peter Martell). He is captured and tried for her murder and found guilty.

He escapes and goes on the run, but is decapitated trying to escape on a motorcycle. After his death, the murders continue and Inspector Fontaoine (Robert Sacchi) is on the case and tries to put various clues together.

There are a lot of suspects as is usual in this kind of movie and the final resolution is handled pretty well. I rreally liked this movie as a whole, but the best thing about this movie is it's cast of gorgeous women and then Sacchi himself.

Sacchi had an uncanny resemblance to Humphrey Bogart and this made him a veey good living in TV commercials and various movies. In this film he does the Bogart act very well, and I guess that's what gives this movie a bad reputation, which I simply don't understand.

The rest of the cast includes gorgeous babes such as Anita Ekberg, Rosalba Neri and Evelyn Kraft. Others include Howard Vernon, Gordon Mitchell, Xiro Papas, William Alexander and Ada Pometti.

THis is a very colorful producgtion and the murder scenes are rapidly repeated in various colors when they are happening, and I thought that was a great little added touch.

The Blu-ray is simply a beautiful presentation and I cannot recommend it enough. If you're a G iallo fan you've probably seen this already. If not check it out and you'll have a great time with it.
