Yul Bryner plays a hit man out to avenge the death of his brother in this low-budget European thriller that also features Martin Balsam (of all people) as an Italian police chief!
There's not much of note about this film except some exquisite but all-too-brief full frontal nudity provided by bombshell Barbara Bouchet. The film's not bad, exactly, but it's too rough around the edges and uninspired to be truly good. The malady that gives the film its title is a sort of mental migraine that afflicts Bryner whenever he's about to kill someone and has a flashback to the killing of his brother, and it's visually represented by a groovy smear of red that runs down the frame like blood. But though the filmmakers make such a definite point of introducing that particular plot point, it oddly plays no role in the film and nothing comes of it.
Grade: C
score 4/10
