Synopsis

A true high point in 70s Italian thriller cinema, this inspired remake of Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train from director Maurizio Lucidi is able to push the concept of the original movie into something far more unbearably tense and deliciously twisted.

Stefano (Thomas Milian; Traffic, Amistad, JFK) needs to sort out his troublesome wife who is seriously cramping his future plans. A chance meeting with a wealthy Count Matteo (Pierre Clemente) leads to an extraordinary plan where both will do each other a murderous favour to free them from the people who ail them. The problem is Stefano treats this as a joke whilst Matteo is deadly serious and what he does drives Stefano to the edge of sanity in a gripping race against time!

Shot in a mist-wreathed eerily beautiful Venice this near dream-like melding of thriller with baroque giallo overtones has remained until now a criminally hidden psychological gem.

This is a great piece of film-making.It's stylish with a brilliant,ambiguous storyline and smart,well dressed actors.The suspense gets really cranked up and the ending will blow you away.Wonderful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another winner from Shameless, 4 Mar 2009
Shameless yet again bring us long suffering UK folk another previously unavailable giallo gem. The film has been restored to it's fullest version and looks fantastic ( aside from some scenes that have been rescued from a full frame vhs tape ) The disc has some nice extras including: a fact commentary track, deleted scenes, trailer, poster gallery and trailer for other Shameless gems ( plus a hidden easter egg ).

5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful, 6 Sep 2009
Had this on the shelf for awhile now..just got round to watching it..sunday afternoon,closed curtains..Well all I can say it's totally beautiful..the locations,inside and out are absolutly stunning,grand Italian interiors and the beautiful Venice..acting wise it's second to none..sometimes(well,alot of the time)the acting in these giallo films let them down,but not in this one...great story,but don't expect loads of killing/blood,it's all about the plot/storyline..alittle nudity in the begining for no apparent reason,and then none from then on,it doesn't need it,so well done to shameless for bringing this to my attention..now then,where's my copy of Venus in furs...
