Edwige Fenech
- in probably her best dramatic role - stars as Anna Lovisi, a poor and
innocent coffee shop girl who is drawn into the world of Mafioso crime
by her overpowering boyfriend Guido. Anna soon realizes the glamorous
life comes with a high price tag as she is forced into prostitution and
drug trafficking. When Guido is arrested and sent to prison, Anna attempts
to go straight but the Mob won't let her go.
Director Giuliano
Carnimeo found much success with his Spaghetti Westerns (especially his
SARTANA
films) and he seldom drifted from that genre. However, in the previous
year, he helmed one of the better Italian thrillers - CASE
OF THE BLOODY IRIS [aka WHY ARE THOSE DROPS OF BLOOD ON THE BODY OF JENNIFER?)
- which also starred Edwige Fenech. After a career of 40 films [half of
which were Westerns plus one horror film,
RATMAN), Mr Carnimeo died at age 84 in September 2016.
