Giallo Score

82

: 1971

: Bruno Nicolai

Martino’s second Giallo is his most conventional and fires on all cylinders with stylish direction, a complicated script by Gastaldi and a great Nicolai score.

Recommedation: Entertaining
Nothing ground breaking here, but a fun time nonetheless.

1972




2014-07-22

Giallo Score

64

: 1972

Recommedation: A Worthwhile Deviation
Breaks some important rules and comes out on top as a result.
