TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Libramedi Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Bezenby This is another one of those Italian giallo/poliziotteschi crossover movies that will keep you guessing to the end, and it's full of groovy music, funky clothes, chain smoking and that delightful sexism we've come to expect from Italian films of this era.Carrol Baker is Julie, an identical twin who works for Air India, translating things. Her sister, who is the bad twin, is on the run from some goons but little is revealed about that at first, and I'm not going to spoil things here. After being convinced she's being stalked, Julie goes for help from her lawyer buddy and his friend Tony (George Hilton). They agree to help, which is just as well as Julie is attacked the moment she leaves the lawyer's building!Although not overly violent or action-packed, I thought the mystery angle of the story kept things going, as you have no idea who is after the twins or indeed why anyone is doing what they do. This is a film that initially raises loads of questions, but in a refreshing break from the usual Italian methods, actually answers them (although sometimes that quickly that you'll have to rewind to catch what's being said). There's car chases, shoot-outs, a creepy giallo style scene with Baker in an old house. Baker in fact has a rough time here as various people terrorise her throughout the film. No idea what the title has to do with things though!

gavin6942 Mary and Julie Harrison (both played by Carroll Baker) are in trouble with knife-wielding thugs. Julie turns to attorney Dave Barton and his detective friend Tony. A love triangle develops while the body count begins to rise.The film was written by Tito Carpi (who also wrote Ruggero Deodato's "Last Cannibal World") and directed by Osvaldo Civirani. The film is Italian, filmed and set in the Netherlands, and dubbed by British actors. There is a lot of sexual nonsense going on, with Barton openly trying to get with Julie and a secretary with a boyfriend simultaneously. And succeeding wonderfully.Luca Palmerini says the film "is rather short on thrills and lacking in action." Which, I suppose, is pretty accurate. I can say, though, the product placement is well done, with prominently displayed PEER brand cigarettes (made in Germany, but also available in the Netherlands).The Alpha Video DVD is decent for a bare bones disc (all it has are some interesting and humorous exploitation trailers). Its biggest flaw is crediting Carroll Baker as "Carol", Dave Barton as "Steve" and titling the film "The Devil has 7 Faces" rather than "The Devil with 7 Faces", contrary to the opening credits.

paul-howard2 ...but I loved the film. Reading other viewers comments, may I point out that Stephen Boyd and Charlton Heston's chariot race occurred in 'Ben Hur' NOT 'The Ten Commandments'! I prefer Boyd's work in modern day set films, and this performance rates among his best. Same goes for Carroll Baker, always underrated. I have a soft spot for Lucretia Love. I'll watch anything she's in. Also, some sterling work from Daniele Vargas, as usual, and the guy who played the inspector, Franco Ressel. My copy of the film was on a 50 movie pack called 'Drive In Movie Classics' an absolute bargain with a lot of 'classic' films (of their type), highly recommended right across the board.

christopher-underwood As has been stated by others, this does not have quite the style or blood of your average giallo but does have other of the elements appreciated by fans of the genre. Carol Baker, for one, and George Hilton, a nice jingly score and probably the most pairs of hot-pants seen in one film. Not much of a plot line and yet it is still made to seem complicated and the main police guy seems to think he is in a comedy film, talking nonsense and prancing about with a magnifying glass. However, it's all done with that gialloesque, fun spirit, with lots of planes and airport scenes, car chases and lots of female (Carol Baker) screaming. Nothing special, but pleasant enough.
