As Chianese
•Based on a novel by Arthur La Bern, the story talks about a sexual maniac who enjoys killing, in beloved London, beautiful women using a tie. A racy and perverse thriller as only the master knew how to do. Jon Finch plays well in the role of a former RAF officer, wrongly accused of the crime, even better Barbara Leigh-Hunt, ex-wife of this man who during the struggle with the killer shows a breast and various nudities praying to God. But watching the film, one understands that the best Hitchcock is not this one, if one thinks that the seventies were the years of the "animalistic" Argentine trilogy, one really does not know where to place this film by the English master. Splendid the scene in which a killer (Alec McCowen) is forced to travel in a van full of potatoes to steal a brooch closed in the mortuary rigidity of the corpse he has hidden there. Inappropriate, however, the pompous and classicizing music that does not instill tension at all. It was the penultimate work of "Hitch".
