Successful
divorce attorney Riccardo returns home one evening to catch wife Elisa
in bed with her lover. The mysterious suitor manages to escape - unidentified
- through the window. Riccardo, determined no to deal with a messy divorce,
takes revenge by drugging his wife while making love and stuffing her
body into a sack, dumping it in a lake. Later, Riccardo meets a young
woman named Eva. She moves in and they become lovers. A short time later,
his 16 year-old niece shows up asking to see Aunt Elisa; Riccardo explains
that she is away on an extended cruise. A bit later, she answers the
telephone and begins having a conversation with his murdered wife...
Renato
Polselli takes the writing credit for this film but hides behind an
odd alias for the director's credit. Perhaps this was the result of
the studio being reluctant to call this a Polselli film because of the
censorship problems he was having with his hardcore ventures
THE REVELATIONS OF A PSYCHIATRIST ON THE PERVERSE WORLD OF SEX
andOSCENITA.
But all the Polselli trademarks are here: quirky acting, odd closeups,
the garish colors (does anybody really have a house with red
walls?) not to mention the dreamy implausible plot structure. He usually
directed films under the pseudonym ‘Ralph Brown’ and is best
known for VAMPIRE
OF THE OPERA, DELIRIUM,
THE
TRUTH ACCORDING TO SATAN and BLACK
MAGIC RITES AND SECRET ORGIES OF 14th CENTURY. As his career
continued, Mr Polselli films [including this one] became more excessive;
some critics wrote that he had gone insane. Renato-Polselli died of
natural causes at age 84 in October of 2006.
