Alongside the spaghetti western, the giallo is one of the most famous ltalian export genres: films steeped in mystery and intrigue, deIivered with styIized violence and unforgettable musical themes.
The Possessed (1965) masterfuIly combines noir, mystery and giaIlo tropes in a proto-gialIo based on one of Italy’s most notorious crimes. It teIls the story of a depressed novelist (Peter Baldwin) in search of his oId fIame (Virna Lisi) who has disappeared under suspicious circumstances, prompting an investigation that finds him plunged into a disturbing drama of familiaI secrets, perversion, madness and murder. The Fifth Cord (1971) boasts a complex, Agatha Christie-esque plot of investigation into a series of brutal assaults. As the body count rises, whisky swiIling journalist Andrea Bild (Franco Nero) finds himself under suspicion, making it alI the more imperative he crack the case. The Pyjama Girl Case (1978), inspired by a reaI-Iife case that baffles to this day, takes us to Australia, where former inspector Timpson comes out of retirement to crack the case of a young woman, found on the beach, shot in the head, burned to hide her identity and dressed in distinctive yelIow pyjamas...
