At the opening of this thriller we see a toung child murdered by a mysterious killer who looks female and is dressed in all black including a veil.
Cut to 4 years later and we are introduced to a painter named Franco (George Lazenby) and his gorgeous wife Elizabeth (Anita Strindberg).
They have a young daughter named Roberta (Nicolette Elmi). One afternoon Roberta doesn't return home and Franco finds she has been murdered. He investigates on his own as the police are too slow for his liking and he discovers a similar killing four years before this.
Franco is obsessed with finding the killer, and who cm blame him. It causes strain between he and Elizabeth, but he continues anyway. There are a llot of twists and turns and the movie holds the viewers interest, but I felt like something was missing...I just can't put my finger on it.
There is a good twist at the end, and you might not see it coming. The rest of the cast includes Adolfo Celi, Dominique Boschero, Peter Chatel and Alessandro Haber.
The movie was directed by Aldo Lado and he handles everything very well, of course. The Blu-ray presentation is very good and I will recommend this to Giallo fans.
