Review of A Black Veil for Lisa

Not quite a giallo, not quite a police procedural, not quite a gangster film and not quite a soap opera. The film has a lot of plot though and a lot of holes in the plot. What is the significance of the yellow tulips? What did Rabbit know? Was it Lisa who infomed the drug baron about her husband's movements? Who was drowned in the bathtub? Why would Lisa cry at the funeral of the husband whom she knew tried to have her bumped off? Were there two red Porsches? It was all rather confusing. It did look good however with fine outdoor location shooting. Of the actors the beauteous Luciana Paluzzi and the handsome Robert Hoffman stood out for me but veteran John Mills as the inspector husband was perhaps miscast. A film not quite the sum of its parts.
