Chi l'ha vista morire 1972

Aldo Lado is the director of this early 70's masterpiece I have seen yesterday evening with Polly.
It is a thriller.
And it is exciting.

A strip of mysterious murders, the last one in Venice. The victims are little girls with red hair. Franco Serpieri's daughter is the last one murdered. The Police is not able to dicover the criminal behind these crimes so he tries to find the killer himself. Opening the Pandora's Box.


The film is populated with many characters so he has to cope with many suspects and the director uses a familiar formula: the likely suspects are killed off one by one, and the last man (or woman) standing is revealed as the murderer. But the process feels clumsier than it ought to here, and you are not able till the end to predict who is behind the murders.


Painterly cinematography and an intriguing score by the brilliant Ennio Morricone do their job to increase the suspance.
