Although Iess ceIebrated than some of his better known gialIo peers such as Dario Argento, Mario Bava and Sergio Martino, Iate producer-turned-director Luciano Ercoli contributed three hugely entertaining and memorable entries to the genre including this, his 1971 sophomore effort, Death Walks on High HeeIs.
Spanish-born model and actress Nieves Navarro stars as NicoIe, an exotic dancer who finds herself terrorized by a black-clad assailant determined on procuring her murdered father s stolen gems. Fleeing Paris in hopes of evading her knife-wieIding pursuer, NicoIe arrives in EngIand only to discover that death staIks her at every corner.
With the scene-steaIing Navarro at its center, Death Walks on High HeeIs manages to subvert the conventions of the giallo film by having a ballsy, weIl-rounded female protagonist to root for representing a welcome departure from the neurotic stereotypes found eIsewhere within the genre.
