An ambassador's wife Julie Wardh (Edwige French) returns home from her trip to America and discovers that one of the men in her life may be a vicious serial killer. Those men include her husband (Alberto De Mendoza), her cruel ex lover (Ivan Rassimov) and her current lover (George Hilton).
Sergio Martino proves once again that he is proberly one of the best Giallo directors. This was his first Giallo and it has to be my personal favourite of the handfull of films he made. The film features a mixture of sex and violence and a great twist ending that I didnt see coming.
Theres a great music score by Nora Orlandi which helps make this film that little bit more enjoyable. Edwige French is great in the lead role as Mrs Wardh and spends alot of the film naked (which I didnt mind) but I felt the best performance goes to Ivan Rassimov as the jealous and vicious Jean.
If you love Giallo films and you havn't seen this then I advise you buy this ASAP!!!!!

If like me you are in love with the screen persona that is Edwige Fenech this movie is for you. Featuring my all-time favourite giallo soundtrack, yes I love it more than all those incredible Goblin-Argento scores, a perfect symbiosis of sound and visuals elevate the surreal S&M imagery into a hyper-kinetic mesmeric delirium. Sergio Martino peppers his film with the customary abuse metered out to his queen of 1970's Italian genre cinema. Adding an extra layer of perversity, not least in part due to Edwidge being married to his brother Luciano, but because how could you abuse the face of such a darkly luscious angel, even in make believe? Poor Ivan Rassimov he must have been racked with Self-loathing at the end of his scenes, "Sergio do we have to do another face slapping take?"
A beautiful sensually hypnotic dream of a picture oozing style and pizzazz from every frame, with the ever likable George Hilton, the only Italian genre leading man handsome enough to place alongside our heroine in peril, but is nice guy George quite so clean-cut in this tale, you'll just have to tag along to discover: The Strange Vice Of Mrs Wardh; loin pumping stuff.
No Shame films have given the viewer a magnificent uncut transfer which boasts a jaw-droppingly stunning picture plus extensive and exclusive interviews with old Martino, but best of all, the lady herself and by goodness she is ever the picture of spectral radiance she will always be to me. The main feature is presented in original Italian with removable English subs along with alternative English dub track. An attractive liner booklet completes what is for this exuberant viewer my most treasured giallo release so far. Now say her name with me one more time Ed-wi-dge Fen-e-ch, isn't that the sexiest name in cinema history???????

Edwige Fenech stars as Julie Wardh, a beautiful woman with a colorful past, trapped in a dull marriage and stalked by her sadistic ex-lover, Jean (Ivan Rassimov). All the while, a series of savage murders are taking place in the city eventually drawing Julie into a twisted game. Sergio Martino's The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh has to be one of the finest gialli of all time - a visually stunning, atmospheric masterpiece that is right up there with genre classics such as Argento's Deep Red and Bava's Blood & Black Lace. It has aged perfectly, unlike many others of it's kind. The film remains very suspenseful, intelligent, creepy and never boring, always keeping the viewer on the edge of the seat, and it often feels like an acid version of a Hitchcock film. Speaking of which, Martino seems to intentionally pay tribute to the Master of Suspense in many of the film's set pieces, the most clear example is the 'murder in the shower' scene. Also, I love the film's dream sequences, which feels like something David Lynch would do. The beautiful soundtrack is also a bonus, and a naked Edwige Fenech doesn't hurt either. Shameless did a fantastic job with this film, the transfer looks great and you also get some extras, an all-new interview with director Sergio Martino, Sergio Martino Introduction, fact track by Justin Harries, Edwige Fenech Bio presentation and some trailers for other Shameless titles. I would say that The Strange Vice is definitely essential viewing for any giallo fan. The acting, sets and settings, plot and "twists" are all very well done. Mrs. Wardh and a few of the other ladies on display in this one are smokin' hot, and one of my only minor gripe is that the violence could have been a little stronger, but this small "disappointment" doesn't drop much in the way of points for this excellent film.
