Synopsis: Isabella (Ungaro), a young model is murdered by a mysterious masked figure at a boarding house run by Max Morlacchi (Ressel) and his lover Countess Cristiana Como (Bartok). When Isabella's boyfriend, Max (Mitchell) is suspected of the killing, her diary, which apparently has some incriminating evidence linking her to the killer and to many others, dissapears, the masked killer begins killing off all the models in and around the house to find the diary.
Review: In the serie of Gialli that I wanted to discover, this is the next one. Mario Bava again introduces some basis for the genre of Giallo. In particular the killer with black-gloved hands, allusions to sexuality and even to provocative sexuality (for that time) and use of colourful palette.  The acting is quite good. This time I watched it in English as a few actors were anyway not speaking in Italian. This way I avoided the surprises of the last Giallo La ragazza che sapeva troppo.  The movie is visually a pleasure especially because each murder is done differently with different sceneries but with the common pride for colours. The directing by Mario Bava is even more creative than in La ragazza.
Rating: 7 /10 As often with the style Giallo, the posters are very creative and graphically beautiful.
