Not quite a giallo but an involving mystery story concerned with loss of memory and a missing consignment leading to murder and mayhem. The film takes its time to get going, the second half being more exciting than the first but it's worth sticking with to the finale. The Italian locations are attractively filmed and Gianni Ferrio provides a thrilling musical score. The story is helped by good acting; Luc Merenda as the ambiguous Ted, Bruno Corazzari as the thuggish George and of course the beauteous Senta Berger as the waiting and wondering wife. The latter is worth the price of admission, as it were. It's a shame what happened to the little dog though.
