(1971) Death Walks on High Heels/ La morte cammina con i tacchi alti
(In Italian with English subtitles)
CRIME THRILLER
It opens with a guy with an eye patch while in a train compartment, getting murdered. And of course, the culprit is wearing a pigeon holed mask, showcasing nothing more but his blue-ish eyes, as he is in search for something. The movie then cut to a striptease artist named Nicole Rochard (Nieves Navarro) mingling with her French boyfriend, Michel Aumont (Simón Andreu) who sponges from her. At this point viewers are oblivious in terms of the connection between Nicole and the guy that was killed and murdered at the opening, until the inspector comes up to her to inform her that her dad had been discovered dead. And she is then warned by authorities that the killer may still be out there, attempting to come to contact with her. And he does by means of a phone call asking her to uncover a batch of diamonds her dad had stolen from a safe. At the same time, a doctorate, Dr. Robert Matthews (Frank Wolff) becomes infatuated with her while he was seeing her dancing semi-naked in a club. And upon him meeting her dance at another club, he then hands her his business card. At first, she does not want to have anything to with the doctor as she views him as creepy, but as soon as she stumbled onto a pair of bluish contact lenses in her boyfriends bathroom cabinet, after she confided to him when she was physically confronted with the killer in her place of residence searching for the jewels, she remembered despite looking at the killer's eyes wearing a pigeon holed mask, that the killer himself was wearing blue contact lenses. And because Nicole's boyfriend was still sleeping in bed, she took the opportunity to see the doctor who left her his business card, and she in turn becomes his mistress even though he was already married to a heiress.
Although, I or anyone for that matter can pretty much guess who the killer might be, it does contain many revealing twists and turns that can continue to keep viewers entertained until the end.
