A drug trafficker's wife has been murdered. He has no alibi and will certainly be the chief suspect.
From the same director and indeed the same year as the similarly hard to categorise, Byleth comes this strangely hypnotic blend of thriller cum ghost story cum giallo. I have seen this categorically denied as a giallo and yet I beg to differ.
Death Falls Lightly is a Giallo of the ultra rare variety, and while it has nothing on the best of what the genre has to offer; Leopoldo Savona's film is still a very solid genre entry. The film takes on an almost dreamlike atmosphere and presents a very isolated and focused mystery inside a deserted hotel building.
This is a pretty slow going thriller which is absolutely not a giallo. The story is very boring and there is absolutely no gore no black glove killer.
Ultra-obscure giallo involving a man in a lot of trouble. He returns home one night after working away to find that his wife has been murdered.
After Coriolano Gori's stirring rock musical intro, we are introduced to rough and ready Giorgio (Stelio Candelli) who returns home to find his wife has been murdered. Due to the murky nature of his business, he declines to report the incident to the police and goes instead to his extremely shady lawyer, who places Girogio and his girlfriend Liz (stunning Patrizia Viotti who died at the tragically early age of 44 in 1997) in a hotel.
Being in the mood of watching a Giallo that would be fun,but easy going,I had a quick look at some Giali titles by the side of my TV,and noticed that one starring "Amuck" actress Patrizia Viotti, (who sadly died at just age 44 in 1994) looked like one that would perfectly fit what I was looking for.The plot:Getting back from a "business" trip to Milan,Giorigo Darica returns home and is welcomed by the sight of his murdered wife.
