A Remarkable Giallo [Thriller] from Duccio Tessari and Ernesto Gastaldi

also known as PUZZLE and ATORMENTADA

director: Duccio Tessari
starring: Luc Merenda · Senta Berger · Umberto Orsini · Anita Strindberg · Bruno Corazzari

Directed by Duccio Tessari (a solid filmmaker responsible for many Spaghetti Westerns including those in the RINGO series) and written by genre kingpin Ernesto Gastaldi (the scripter for 125+ films, from TORSO to ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK), this film is a remarkably good addition to the Italian thriller genre. It begins in London, where - after a near fatal traffic accident - an amnesia victim is abducted and beaten by a stranger. When a sniper's bullet kills the attacker, 'Peter' flees the country to Portofino Italy (with tickets provided mysteriously by a wife he didn't know he had). Soon, both he and his wife Sara fall victim to many attempts on their lives. The whole thing culminates in a chainsaw fight [see beautiful Senta Berger brandishing the weapon, right] and some surprising twists-n-turns which eventually provide answers.
