~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh (1971)

AKA: Blade of the Ripper

Starring: Edwige Fenech, George Hilton
Director: Sergio Martino

Premise:
An Ambassador's wife returns to her home only to find out a mysterious man is murdering her friends.

My Take:
I thought this was an above average giallo. Maybe it was the extra splash of pervision/eroticism or maybe I simply found myself being smittened over the gorgeous lead, Edwige Fenech. All the elements of a giallo mystery are present here and it's done in a slick manner. Just enough twists and turn to keep you guessing.

Rating: So Good
