Cult horror film by Sergio Martino, which finds the wife of an ambassador at the centre of a slew of gruesome murders. Julie Wardh (Edwige Fenech) is tangled in a web of deceit and adultery, and, to make matters even more complicated, it looks like one of her lovers is a serial killer. (Shameless Films)

The Italian giallo, with its film "Lo strano vizio della Signora Wardh," once again showed its beautiful face to me and I was reassured that this is unequivocally a genre that suits me, a genre that I can enjoy because it is something that can keep me on edge, a genre that interests me. Keeping the viewer's attention is not easy, but here I was truly just watching with anticipation, wondering what the twist would be. It is definitely not bad.

It’s not as heart attack inducing as Torso, but has a better plot and a resolution that is hard to guess in advance.

Unexpectedly, Vienna is a cool place for a Giallo murder mystery and it was nice to see that the area around Schönbrunn, its park and dark corners, still looks just as sexy after 50 years; too bad the ending wasn't just as sexy. Yeah, it's got suspense, it's got style, it's got atmosphere and the beautiful Edwige Fenech, but the final weak twist sent the whole experience down the drain. Such a muddled script is unworthy of Sergio Martino's skill.
