Here's the poster for Massimo Dallamano's least discussed giallo La Morte non ha sesso from 1968. No teenage schoolgirls, sleaze or prostitution rings this time, as the film centered around Interpol Inspector Bulov (John Mills) and his obsession with the idea that his young wife Lisa (Luciana Paluzzi) is having an affair.
More of a twist based thriller, so there's no gloved killer creeping in the shadows. Mills jealous inspector isn't particularly likable character, but acting-wise he's great, and the interplay between him and Robert Hoffman is very good. Paluzzi does a good job as the seductive Lisa. No info on the poster artist.
The second entry in Dallamano's “schoolgirls in peril” trilogy. Compared to Solange there's a relative lack of giallo elements and the emphasis is more on police work, but this giallo/poliziesco hybrid is still a great film. The score by Stelvio Cipriani is superb and desperately needs a CD release. The recent R2 Koch release is by far the best way to enjoy the film. Pick it up at Xploited Cinema. Two locandine available and they both have more of a poliziesco feel rather than a giallo one.
I've been lazy the last couple of days, so I thought I'd make up for it by posting the two alternate posters for Massimo Dallamano's Cosa avete fatto a Solange?. Made in 1972, Solange is the first film in the loosely held together "schoolgirls-in-peril" trilogy that was written by Dallamano. A firm favourite of mine, this is an excellent giallo set in London featuring a great cast and a beautiful soundtrack by Ennio Morricone. Dallamano went on to direct La Polizia chiede aiuto (What Have They Done to Your Daughters?) in 1974, but unfortunately he passed away in a car accident in 1976 before he could conclude the triolgy, so the last film Engima Rosso (Rings of Fear) was directed by Alberto Negrin.
There's no signature on the locandina posted above, but the one below is made by the great Sandro Simeoni aka Symeoni.
