This
is an obscure - albeit old fashioned - Italian giallo that features Marisa
Mell as Louisa, a young woman who drifts into prostitution to survive
in Rome. A bit later she meets Armando, a doctor by trade (but something
of a frustrated poet), whom she marries. Before long, this young bride
falls out of love for Armando and begins an affair with another man. Murder
ensues. She soon finds herself blackmailed - both for cash and sex - by
her late husband's limo driver who knows too much about her bad behavior.
Marisa
Mell was an A-List actress when she made this film. Yet, under Giovanni
d'Eramo's direction, she plays the role with a certain Plain Jane
abandonment. In her films, she would usually would flaunt her physic and
adorn herself with catchy - even quirky - makeup (compare the Marisa Mell
images on this page with the ones in Lucio Fulci's PERVERSION
STORY from a couple years previous). She was born Marles Moitzi
in Austria and was briefly married to Henry Tucci in the early '60s. Over
the years, she's been romantically linked to Alain Delon, Warren Beatty,
Robert Evans, Roman Polanski, Jess Franco and the Shah of Iran. She made
75+ films in the 30 years between 1960-90, but was dangerously addicted
to cocaine, often resulting in legal problems. Miss Mell died from throat
cancer at the early age of 53 in May 1992..
