Formerly, the usual UK title was THE BOGEY MAN AND THE FRENCH MURDERS. There39;s also a Greek video with the sleeve title, CALL GIRLS FOR INSPECTOR BOGART. The inspector is not named Bogart, nor does he get any call girls, but who cares? It39;s a title that sells. There39;s a killer in Paris, a suicide from the Eiffel Tower, a brothel as the main setting, insane professors, an eye-ball thief, an inspector who looks like Humphrey Bogart (for no apparent reason), a truly creepy Anita Ekberg, and an impressive line-up of Euro-stars. How Dick Randall assembled this cast is beyond me, but he did it. Besides Anita Ekberg, there39;s Rosalba Neri (who even sings a song in a nightclub), Barbara Bouchet, Evelyn Kraft, Howard Vernon, and Robert Sacchi as inspector Pontaine or Humphrey Bogart. The title is pretty accurate. The murders take place during, before or after sex in a brothel in Paris. In between, the Bogey-man snoops around trying to track down the killer, but he is not too bright. You39;ll probably have figured it out long before he does. The film39;s producer was American Dick Randall who took residence in Rome in the 39;60s but basically was wherever the deals where made, which meant Rome in the 39;60s, Bangkok and Hong Kong in the 39;70s and London in the 39;80s. Whilst residing in Italy, he payed close attention and decided to take a shot at the giallo as well, and produced this piece of cinematic soufflé. It39;s a perfect example of totally round the bend Euro-tosh, with a rather tame execution actually. The direction is not wildly imaginative, a workman39;s job at best, so don39;t expect outrageous Italian craftsmanship and style here, but some spicing-up in the editing by Bruno Mattei. The special effects were done by future Oscar-winner Carlo Rambaldi of ET fame. I guess he learned a lot since this one. Of course, the presence of Robert Sacchi, among some other ingredients (mostly the cast) give this film a certain weird identity of its own. All together, it39;s pretty much a poor man39;s interpretation of an Italian Giallo. The version on Mondo Macabro39;s DVD never existed in this form. From various copies, they assembled the longest version they could possibly paste together. There39;s an English audio-track, but a couple of scenes appear in Italian with subtitles. imdb comment如果您喜欢免费短视频(liangz.vodpond.cc)分享的《法国性谋杀 [影视解说]》,别忘了推荐给你的好友!
