This is a wonderful comedy/mystery! Those expecting a serious giallo will be disappointed. However, if you're expecting a comedy with a number of mysterious murders, you will be pleased!
Marcello Mastroianni and Ornella Muti are wonderful as the leads! Ornella Muti is beautiful and mysterious, but this is Marcello Mastroianni's movie through and through. He is incredibly likeable here, and I couldn't help but root for him.
The mystery component was done well. There are a number of murders with people falling out of windows. There is a secret MacGuffin. There is a chase scene. And there is the classic reveal at the end.
I thought both the comic and mysterious aspects were handled/blended well. This film seems to be underappreciated. It's a fun ride!
