THE CRIMES OF THE BLACK CAT is set in the world of high fashion. When a model is found dead, the cause of her demise proves to be perplexing. Several people with possible motives, ranging from adultery to blackmail, are introduced. Not-so surprisingly, the police are stumped. The victim's boyfriend, a pianist named Peter (Anthony Steffen), sets out on an investigation of his own, drawing the attention of the killer.
This is a good little giallo. No, it's not stellar, but it's a lot of fun. The murder method is complex and inventive. The scene at the glass works is quite effective, as is the bloody shower scene. Also, the finale is satisfying and -somewhat- unexpected, though the killer's identity isn't a total shock.
