Anecdotes
Francesco de Mari's score under the introductory credits is virtually identical--orchestrations, chord progressions, measure for measure, rhythmic figures--everything except melodic line, to Tchaikovsky's famous 1st piano concerto, the opening chords of which reverberate throughout the film score.

Autres versions
A censored version was created by MGM for American and international markets, removing zooms and close-ups of bloody content as well some as sexual interplay and dialogue. Only the original Italian version was uncensored.

Homage to Agatha Christie

The Weekend Murders is disconcertingly British. It's not just that this Italian giallo is in UK English but that the setting, style and even the lame quaint humor are all indicative of a mid-century cozy English mystery-comedy.

I must say that i was completely taken by surprise by who the murderer is and what method they used. However, this isn't unusual in Agatha Christie mysteries which totally cheat and throw so many red herrings at the reader that the end is usually a nice surprise. Either you get it or you don't, no review on Earth will talk someone into the sheer relaxing enjoyment of watching a formulaic mystery set on a European estate where you'll never be able to figure out the murderer by discerning the clues.

This effort is solid, the cinematography and musical score are lovely, but in a very mainstream MGM sort of way.
