Movie Reviews of The Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion
Movie Review: If Hitchcock had made a giallo ...
Summary: 4 Stars
This release is a pleasant surprise dating from 1970, when the giallo craze was just ramping up. Granted, there's very little of the explicit gore and splatter associated with Dario Argento, but there are enough thunderstorms and black gloves to please the giallo fanatic. What this film brings to the table is an obsessive sexual undertone that must have seemed extremely risque at the time. If Hitchcock's Marnie had rolled into the late 1960s, she probably would have wound up in Rome, embroiled in some madness similar to what's portrayed here.
Plot twists abound, and the ending brings an suitably ironic and creepy closure of sorts - but one that leaves you wondering just what would have happened to these characters after all these years.
The cinematography is noteworthy and the vibrant use of color on the sets is stunning, leaving me just a bit nostalgic for the style of the times (minus the shag carpets and the fuschia area rugs).
Screenwriter Ernesto Gastaldi is shown in a 9-minute bonus interview, reminiscing about the era, and discussing producer Luciano Ercoli, who used the proceeds of this film to fund later, more lavish productions which are available on the Luciano Ercoli set mentioned in the other reviews. On the basis of this release, I plan to check those out.
