Who Saw Her Die? (Chi l’ha vista morire?), directed by Aldo Lado, is a striking entry in the Italian horror genre that flourished during the late 1960s and 1970s. The film combines the typical Giallo elements of mystery, psychological tension, and stylized violence with a moody atmosphere that sets it apart from its contemporaries.
Set against the hauntingly beautiful backdrop of Venice, the film tells the story of sculptor Franco Serpieri (played by George Lazenby), whose daughter, Roberta, is brutally murdered shortly after arriving in the city. As Franco delves into the mystery of her death, he uncovers a series of child murders that eerily mirror the fate of his own daughter. The film is notable for its brooding atmosphere, where Venice’s foggy canals...

Giallos run hot and cold, but this one has plenty to recommend it — a serious outlook, a focus on elements other than gore, beautiful cinematography on terrific locations in Venice, and committed performances from Anita Strindberg, Adolfo Celi and an unusual choice, ex- 007 George Lazenby. Director Aldo Lado takes this one in a different direction than Giallo maestro Dario Argento — with a humanistic bent and a compelling performance by child actress Nicoletta Elmi. Plus a piercing music score by Ennio Morricone, sung by a children’s choir.

When Roberta s body is found floating face-down in the river, the lives of Franco and his estranged wife Elizabeth are ripped asunder.

Released at the height of the giallo boom, this gripping mystery thriller boasts some of the most iconic names associated with the genre on both sides of the camera.

It’s Tab Hunter as you’ve never seen him before! Antonio Margheriti’s limp but colorful Arabian Nights adventure romance is a real head-scratcher — it’s an entirely generic kiddie show, filmed on nice locations, and devoid of style or flash. Some of the sub-Bava effects are clever, but the only ‘magic’ element is the decision to re-voice Tab with an off-the-shelf dubbing artist… it’s as if Hunter has been sucked into a ‘scimitar & sandal’ episode of The Twilight Zone.
