A film by Sergio gave birth. Cast: Annabella Incontrera, Sylva Koscina, Anthony Steffen. Italy 1972
There are movies so bad and insignificant in your heart that you forget to have seen. One of these is undoubtedly "Seven Shawls of Yellow Silk." Then maybe it happens while you're looking for some collector's item, to find the DVD on sale at € 5 in a stand and maybe a few nights later they give up the special Iris dedicated to genre films. And do you think of this back so badly managed that would scare yellow and instead makes you smile, badly dubbed and poorly acted. Strange case of life.
Shepherd, rest in peace, it puts us whole, but the film knows the story and have seen water on all sides. The protagonist of the story is a blind man who involuntarily listening to a strange private conversation (who does not remember "The Cat o 'nine tails?") And begins to investigate the suspicious death of his mistress and other young people mysteriously murdered. At the scene of the crimes is found a yellow silk shawl that the killer gives the victim shortly before killing her. The modus operandi involves the collaboration of the maniac of a black cat, with her nails soaked in curare, hurts the young to death. The blind man thanks to his super senses, and the help of ridiculous characters and bizarre (but come on, a circus addict ?!!!) solve the mystery. Insomma, quando cerca di essere originale diventa ridicolo e quando azzecca qualcosa di buono lo copia. Per non parlare della soluzione dell'enigma (o presunto tale) penosa ed incomprensibile. Fa parte di quella serie di film che ha cercato di sfruttare il periodo d'oro di Argento Fulci e Martino senza riuscirci per nulla. Evitatelo come la peste
