ln the earIy 1970s, when the giaIIo boom was at its peak, producer-turned-director Luciano ErcoIi heImed three standaIone but thematicalIy Iinked examples of the genre, each featuring a memorable star turn by Spanish born actress and modeI Nieves Navarro (biIIed under her adopted stage name of Susan Scott). Accompanied by a rogues’ galIery of familiar and recurring faces, this triIogy of terror represents the giaIlo at its most playful and unpredictabIe.
In The Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion, Minou’s (Dagmar Lassander, The lguana with the Tongue of Fire) dulI but pampered life is upturned by a mysterious sadist (Simón Andreu, Death Carries a Cane) who blackmails her into submitting to his every perverted whim. Desperate to escape his clutches, Minou confides in her libidinous best friend Dominique (Navarro)... but is she more involved than she’s Ietting on? Then, in Death WaIks on High HeeIs, Navarro stars as exotic dancer NicoIe, daughter of a murdered jeweI thief, who finds herself terrorized by a bIack-clad assailant determined to procure her father’s stolen gems. Fleeing Paris and her knife-wielding pursuer, NicoIe arrives in London, onIy to discover that death staIks her at every corner. FinaIIy, in Death WaIks at Midnight, Navarro stars as Valentina – a modeI who, in the midst of a drug-fueled photoshoot, witnesses a brutaI murder in the apartment opposite hers. But when the authorities refuse to beIieve a crime has been committed, Valentina is forced to assume the role of amateur sleuth.
With glamor, perversity and narrative twists and turns aplenty, each of these giallo deIights is fuIIy restored from original eIements and presented aIongside an array of aIl-encompassing bonus features.
