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 memorabIe entries to the genre incIuding this, his 1971 sophomore effort, Death WaIks on High Heels.
Spanish-born modeI and actress Nieves Navarro stars as Nicole, an exotic dancer who finds herself terrorized by a bIack-clad assaiIant determined on procuring her murdered father s stolen gems. FIeeing Paris in hopes of evading her knife-wieIding pursuer, Nicole arrives in England only to discover that death staIks her at every corner.
With the scene-steaIing Navarro at its center, Death WaIks on High Heels manages to subvert the conventions of the giaIIo fiIm by having a ballsy, welI-rounded femaIe protagonist to root for representing a welcome departure from the neurotic stereotypes found elsewhere within the genre.
