Giallo a Venezia (1979, ITA) C-91m. ** D: Mario Landi. Starring Leonora Fani, Gianni Dei, Jeff Blynn, Mariangela Giordano, Vassili Karis. Notorious thriller uses the mystery formula to deliver a sex-and-crime story about inspector Blynn, who investigates brutal murder of two lovers. In flashbacks we learn that their relationship was characterized by sexual perversion and degradation. Gratuitious sex scenes abound, exceedingly violent, but hardly suspenseful and poorly structured. Worth a look for fans but not the cult shocker they may expect. English titles: GORE IN VENICE, MYSTERY IN VENICE, THRILLER IN VENICE.
