CINE CITY

George Hilton is cast yet again as a sleazy gigolo, whose wife Nora, is very wealthy thanks to her father’s business holdings. Nora is getting sick of supporting her louse of a husband who has at least one girlfriend on the side and who’s business is failing. Nora informs him that she has cut him off and will not give him another dime. Outraged this pathetic looser develops a devious plan one night while he watches a man dump the body of a woman in the bay. He approaches this killer and blackmails him into murdering his wife. The assassin follows the plan the two men devised and brutally strangles Nora while her husband is whooping it up at a party with friends. The killer dumps Nora’s corpse into the trunk of his car and returns to the house to remove any fingerprints. Upon returning to his car he discovers it’s gone, along with the body of Nora! It appears that two youths have stolen the car for a joyride unknowingly setting off a chain of events that will make them the next target for the now, very pissed-off assassin, and causing the police to become very suspicious of Nora’s husband.
A great thriller chock full of nasty violence and graphic sex from writer/director Luigi Cozzi who is best know for his collaborations with Dario Argento. Cozzi displays a very dark sense of humor with an ironic film structure. Juxtaposing scenes of Nora being brutally beaten as her husband parties; inter-cutting scenes of a young couple making love with that of the killer brutally raping a young virgin. Working under an obviously low budget Cozzi manages to make the most of it with some interesting camera work. Also starring Michel Antoine, whose unusual looks make him the perfect psychopathic killer, Femi Benussi, Cristina Galbo, Eduardo Fajardo, Teresa Velazquez.
