A Rather Complicated Girl

Continental Film Review article on Damiano Damiani's 1968 semi-giallo, Una Ragazza Piuttosto Complicata, featuring euro-hunk and giallo fav Jean Sorel alongside Catherine Spaak and Maria Cuadra, with Florinda Bolkan making her film debut. Incidentally the second page contains some semi-nude images of Florinda Bolkan in Le Voleur de Crimes (1969) where she appeared opposite Jean-Louis Trintignant. Maria Cuadra also appears in Tonino Valerii's 1969 eurowestern Il Prezzo di Potere and is seen opposite the lovely Cristina Galbo in Dove si Spara di Piu (1967), another western. Here you can find some images from the French photonovel of this last movie.

Heroines in Distress (or perhaps just Disarray)

The Bathtub #003

Lovely Florinda Bolkan reclining in a tub in Elio Petri's marvellous 1970 polizieschi, Indagine su un Cittadino al di Sopra di Ogni Sospetto (The Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion).  A remarkable tale of corruption in high office, the film tells of a powerful former head of the homicide squad (Gian Maria Volonté) who kills his lover, Augusta Terzi (Bolkan), and then intentionally leaves incriminating evidence leading back to him, all in an effort to find out if his position makes him exempt from the murder charge. Two original stills.
