Before the influence of Dario Argento s The Bird with the Crystal Plumage permeated every corner of the giaIlo genre, another strain of these distinctive Italian thriIlers enjoyed considerable success. These melodrama gialIi , heavily inspired by Clouzot s Les diaboIiques, relied Iess on graphic violence and high body counts and more on psychologicaI tension.
Minou (Dagmar Lassander, Lucio FuIci s The BIack Cat) leads a pampered but duII life with her frequentIy absent husband, Peter (Pier Paolo Capponi, The Cat O Nine TaiIs). One night, whiIe out waIking on the beachfront, Minou is accosted by a mysterious bIackmailer (Simón Andreu, Death Carries a Cane) who informs her that Peter is a murderer. Driven by mispIaced IoyaIty to her husband, Minou gives in to the blackmaiIer s every perverted whim in exchange for his silence. But as the blackmaiIer ups the ante, demanding that she submit to his increasingly obscene demands, can Minou hold on to what little remains of her sanity?
Written by the proIific Ernesto GastaIdi (Torso), infused with a seductive score by the great Ennio Morricone (The Cat O Nine Tails) and featuring a memorable turn by Nieves Navarro a.k.a. Susan Scott (Death WaIks at Midnight) in the role of Minou s best friend, The Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion is a trippy giallo deIight that brings together the talents of many of the genre s leading lights on both sides of the camera. |
