This next courtesy of friend Auld Scratch who writes: A little while back I watched a giallo containing this book as a prop. Funny to see it crop up in HELL HOUSE too The other film it was in was ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK (AllMovie called the film "tiresome", Wikipedia tells me). This blog, Carrie Ann Burns, includes several screengrabs featuring it in ALL THE COLORS... Spooky thing. I have a copy of this book, but didn't realise the fact until Mr. Scratch mentioned it. I honestly have no idea where it came from. If any more books want to materialise on my shelves of shame, please feel free, but preferably something I'm likely to be into next time.

ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK is great, one of my favorite films.

AllMovie doesn't know what it is talking about. One of the top ten gialli. Ms Fenech alone is worth the price.

It does seem a shame that the AllMovie quote is the only one under the 'critical reception' section on Wikipedia. My wife and I had a bit of a Sergio Martino marathon a couple of weeks ago (this, The Strange Vice of Mrs Wardh, Your Vice Is A Locked Room and Only I Have The Key -- by extension, also an Edwige Fenech marathon), and they were all pretty entertaining in their own way. I'd question whether ALL THE COLORS... is actually a giallo, though -- more a ROSEMARY'S BABY/OMEN mash-up.

A Martino marathon. That is fun. If ALL THE COLOURS really is a giallo, this debate is still lively. STRANGE VICE is my favorite of the three.

I never quite understood the fascination for THE STRANGE VICE OF MRS WARDH. Its plot is unusually incomprehensible even for the genre, and it contains no memorable setpieces (or none that I can remember, anyway). There is also more nudity from La Fenech in other films. MRS WARDH is good, as are all of Martino's films, at least the ones I have seen (which is a substantial number), but I do not see that it is the masterpiece that many people seem to feel it is.

That is a good question. Unsually comprehensible? Well, compared to movies like "Delirio Clado" (Delirium) by Polselli or "La Bestia Uccide A Sangue Freddo" (Slaughter Hotel) by Di Leo this is a plain and easy thriller. I am kidding, I know what you mean. The ending is difficult, isn't it?
I think "Miss Ward" is in so high regard because it is such a polished movie. Compared to a lot of other gialli with its sparse locations. The photography is beautiful. So are the locations in Vienna, and it is one of Fenechs best performances. She is a better actress as often credited and very versatile. I watched a few of her historical comedies and was surprised how good she was. She could do a lot more then getting naked and being chased by someone.

These salacious issues of Wow magazine are enough to drive tortured hands-on anti-porn campaigner Robert Aickman (Harry H. Corbett) to murder in The Cover Girl Killer

Closet paperbacks fanatics and sleazy readers Alan and Rigsby debate the merits of an 1969 Beeline adult novel in Rising Damp episode, The ProwlerBeeline? Wow, who would have thought. Those were either terrible or quite well done, if I judge by the three or four I have. There used to be always a whole stand in the International Press Shops back then, but they were expensive.

There used to be always a whole stand in the International Press Shops back then, but they were expensive. The props department excelled themselves on that occasion. How much would a copy of Peephole Pervert changes hands for these days? Think the only Beeline I have is something called Swinging Couples Wanted - it's terrible! Rigsy was also partial to a bit of Edgar Allan Poe.

Rigsy was also partial to a bit of Edgar Allan Poe. Glad you asked The price range is 0.1 to 50 BP or more on marketplace. Or you could buy if for 2 USD in this onlineshop which specialises in old erotica paperbacks. The cheap version is a downloadable pdf, though.
