Fun
Atmospheric murder mystery with comic touches.A tourist in Rome (Leticia Roman) witnesses a murder but nobody believes her.A doctor (John Saxon) also falls in love with her.Together they try to find out what's going on.Fun, fast-moving movie.It's light but enjoyable.The film looks fantastic and Bava creates a very eerie mood and provides some very funny laughs also. There are numerous stand-out sequences...especially the one when Roman is alone in an apartment at night and sees somebody trying to get in.Very spooky.
The script doesn't make a lot of sense (but then that's never been a strong aspect of Bava films), but the visuals are great and Roman and Saxon make a very attractive couple.Seeing Saxon so young and handsome is incredible!
One of Bava's best.Well worth catching.
score 8/10
