The Pyjama Girl Case (1977)

AKA: La Ragazza Dal Pigiama

Starring: Ray Milland, Mel Ferrer
Director: Flavio Mogherini

Premise:
A woman's body is found on a beach burned. A retired detective forces his way onto the investigation to solve the case.

My Take:
What makes the film a good watch is the two different stories. One about the old detective and the second about a woman's trouble with her lovers. Naturally the two tales meet up in the end without any real surprises, but it's done well.
The lead actress is fabulous and it's always great to see vets of the golden age of Hollywood chew up scenery in their later years of life.

Rating: In the middle
