Slightly atypical and not so gory as many other gialli films, but stylish
enough and pretty interesting with a great soundtrack by Gianni Ferrio.
The opening of the film was interesting and unusual with the main characters
presented for us with their role names as in actor credits, and
with the most famous Tchaikovsky piano concert blaring out at us and
then turning into a cool progressive arrangement of it by Ferrio.
A young woman is stabbed to death when she walks through a park in Bergamo,
Italy and after some police procedure work and court-room
sequences a middle-aged man are sentenced to life in prison, but then
an identical murder occur, and that means ....
A 17 year old girl, Francoise Pigaut (Carole André)
is molested and stabbed to death when she walks in the park, and eye-witnesses
points
out a TV-personality, middle-aged Alessandro Marchi (Giancarlo Sbragia)
as the killer, as he was seen escaping the crime-scene. He's married
to Maria (Ida Galli) and his daughter Sarah (Wendi D'Olive) was a school-mate
to the dead girl.
The victim was stabbed to death with a stiletto knife and she carried
a LP with Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto.

Helmut Berger plays a young rich man, Giorgio, with a tortured soul
(didn't he always portrait fucked-up guys?) who has a sexual relation
with
Sarah, plays the piano (or cembalo?) and listens to Tchaikovsky's Piano
Concerto. Red herrings are thrown at us.
The lawyer of the accused, Giulio (Günther Stoll) has a sexual
relation with Maria Marchi, and she seems' mentally strained too. Red
herrings.
