Death walks onto Movie Matters this month as we indulge in some fun and frivolity in this Luciano Ercoli and Nieves Navarro aka Susan Scott giallo triple-bill. Join us as we ogle THE FORBIDDEN PHOTOS OF A LADY ABOVE SUSPICION (1970), shimmy and simmer when DEATH WALKS ON HIGH HEELS (1971) and countdown to our demise via spiked glove to the face as DEATH WALKS AT MIDNIGHT (1972).
Writer and ‘Godfather of the Giallo’ Ernesto Gastaldi wrote the scripts for this trio of hip and often humorous gialli, featuring a cast of familiar faces such as Simon Andreu (DEATH CARRIES A CANE), Dagmar Lassander (HATCHET FOR THE HONEYMOON), Luciano Rossi (SO SWEET, SO DEAD), Pier Paolo Capponi (THE CAT O’NINE TAILS), Frank Wolff (CALIBER 9), George Rigaud (A LIZARD IN A WOMAN’S SKIN), Fabrizio Moresco (THE RED QUEEN KILLS SEVEN TIMES), Pietro Martellanza aka Peter Martel (THE FRENCH SEX MURDERS), Carlo Gentili (THE MAGNIFICENT DAREDEVIL) and ‘Navarro-alike’ Claudie Lange.
Plus we have our own ‘star’ cameo as author and giallo expert Troy Howarth kindly introduces and offers an overview of our featured director, Luciano Ercoli, and his beloved leading lady, the inimitable Nieves Navarro.
