The Verdict
Giallo in pure '70s style for the director, friend of Dario Argento (who helped Cozzi quite a bit with the direction of this), who mixes the thrilling atmospheres of those years with the classic mystery themes of Hitchcockian giallo; and the plot of this film is set halfway between the success of "Profondo Rosso" and the famous "Delitto per Delitto".

An architect decides to kill his beautiful and rich wife, so he hires a killer who kills the woman. The architect, however, in order not to repay what was agreed upon with the assassin, begins to blackmail him for a previous crime. Meanwhile, two young people start investigating...
With a good George Hilton and a Femy Benussi more beautiful than good, the film is not much, there is little suspense and a lot of boredom. Argento sponsored this film and it is with one of his phrases that we want to end the review "...this type of film has all the merits and flaws of the era" this was true for Freda-like gothics but also for the rip-offs in full Argento period. The judgment is for nostalgics of that period and that genre.
