Puzzle (1974) is an Italian giallo picture that I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a man who wakes up from a coma and doesn't remember his identity. When the man meets his wife he instantly falls back in love with her and they try to rekindle the old flame. Meanwhile, some men who doesn't believe him that he doesn't remember his past try to remind him of some unsavory acts and murders that he should remember and wish to knock his memory back into him one way or another.
This movie is directed by Duccio Tessari (The Bloodstained Butterfly) and stars Senta Berger (The Ambushers), Luc Merenda (Hostel: Part II), Umberto Orsini (The Damned), Anita Strindberg (Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key) and Bruno Corazzari (Murder to the Tune of the Seven Black Notes).
This movie had some really entertaining elements. There's a mystery over the entire film as you try to figure out who is telling the truth that isn't revealed until the very end. The circumstances are well set up and felt authentic and the acting is solid. The "who done it elements" were well done. The little kid in this was a wild character and his dialogue kept me cracking up the entire film. The backdrops of the Italian countryside is gorgeous. The ending razor blade vs chainsaw sequence was a lot of fun but could have been better and the ending reveal was good (not great).
Overall, this is a unique Italian giallo picture that I would score a 6.5/10 and recommend seeing once.
