The 1968 film, "A Black Veil for Lisa" ("La Morte Non Ha Sesso") starring John Mills, Luciana Paluzzi and Robert Hoffman was directed by Massimo Dallamano in Eastmancolor and Widescreen. Dallamano also directed "The Secret of Dorian Gray" (1970) starring Helmut Berger and "What Have You Done to Solange?" (1972). I have never seen Luciana with a better part or one more substantial and John Mills is excellent in a role he could be considered "miscast" but it is really more a departure for him and becomes one more wonderful facet of a rewarding career. He played a similarly obsessed top brass to the point of question to his sanity with his award-winning role in "Tunes of Glory." Although the film is not as well known, Dallamano's direction is wonderfully realized. The music is exceptional by Gianfranco Reverberi with cinematography by Angelo Lotti.
