A quick look at Franco Rossetti's imdb page shows that he's got writing credits on films like Django, Texas Adios and Zabriskie Point, but his directing career seems fairly unremarkable and after seeing this it's easy to see why. Delitto al Circolo del Tennis doesn't really make me want to seek out any of his other films. The weak plot revolves around a blackmailing scheme and I found it quite plodding and lacking any suspense. The sole redeeming feature is the look of the film (which is unsurprising considering it's shot by Vittorio Storaro), but not even that is enough to save it. I'm quite fond of the poster art by Ciriello though.

Great to see you posting again, even if just for a while. I've still got you on my blogroll :)
Thanks Aylmer. I'm glad I've finally got some new locandine to post. Still got a few en route, so I'll be able to keep posting new stuff for a little while.
The film itself may not be much cop, but that poster is fantastic! Who was the artist?
I agree. It's a great poster. The artwork is by Averardo Ciriello
