Sinekatalog’s take
Mario Bava's black-and-white thriller has an American tourist see a murder in Rome that no one believes, and is often called the first giallo. Playful and stylish, with a wry Hitchcock tone, it sets out the template for the genre.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
