Italian Giallo Thriller with Fabio TESTI and Christine KAUFMANN
16 January 2024
Fabio Testi and the blood-red secret

A Giallo shocker with the German-Austrian GOLDEN GLOBE winner Christine KAUFMANN (1945-2017) in the leading role! What a joy! But disappointment is approaching: after a few scenes, she disappears from the film as FabioTESTI's kleptomaniac friend, virtually without a trace. Luckily we saw her swimming beforehand. ;-)

What is it about? It is well known that boarding schools are often not celebratory. Precocious students, creepy teachers! The worst is of course the German teacher (Tony Isbert), it's clear! In any case, a few murders happen among the young girls (one of them is Tommi Ohrner's sister Carolin), and the good TESTI is the detective.

The successful German producer Artur BRAUNER (1918-2019) co-produced the whole thing, and Peter BERLING was involved in the script. Helga LINE with her Elke Sommer memorial hairstyle and Ivan DESNY act very convincingly as the correct public prosecutor. This giallo offers a lot of warm-up stuff, but - also because of a successful twist at the end - is definitely worth seeing!
