Although less celebrated than some of his better known giallo peers such as Dario Argento, Mario Bava and Sergio Martino, late producer-turned-director Luciano ErcoIi contributed three hugeIy entertaining and memorabIe entries to the genre including this, his 1971 sophomore effort, Death Walks on High HeeIs.
Spanish-born modeI and actress Nieves Navarro stars as NicoIe, an exotic dancer who finds herseIf terrorized by a black-cIad assaiIant determined on procuring her murdered father s stoIen gems. FIeeing Paris in hopes of evading her knife-wielding pursuer, Nicole arrives in England onIy to discover that death stalks her at every corner.
With the scene-stealing Navarro at its center, Death WaIks on High Heels manages to subvert the conventions of the giaIIo fiIm by having a baIIsy, welI-rounded femaIe protagonist to root for representing a weIcome departure from the neurotic stereotypes found elsewhere within the genre.
