Original Italian
Title: ALIBI PERFETTO [Perfect Alibi]
also known as CIRCLE OF FEAR
director: Aldo Lado
starring: Michael Woods · Kay Rush · Annie Girardot ·
Carla Cassola · Gianni Paola · Philippe Leroy
Two special team
cops, Tony and Lisa, have been investigating gangster kingpin Mancini
and his involvement in drug trafficking. They initiate a shootout at a
Chinese restaurant during a heroin deal but Mancini manages to escape.
A bit later, Tony's ex-wife Elvi is killed at an abandoned villa and he
thinks Mancini is behind the murder. However, further investigation seems
to indicate that he's been targeted by 'the full moon killer.'
Director Aldo
Lado found notoriety during the Giallo boom with his two thrillers SHORT
NIGHT OF THE GLASS DOLLS and WHO
SAW HER DIE?. But he is probably better known
to fans of Euro cult films for NIGHT
TRAIN MURDERS and the controversial cannibal love story LOVE
RITUAL. His movies are usually marked with a dry, unemotional
tone which has become known as the Lado Style. However, for this
project, Aldo Lado ventures into a kaleidoscope of jarring styles, paying
homage to many of his favorite filmmakers (especially Dario Argento and
Brian DePalma).
