Death Laid An Egg (1968)

AKA: La Morte Ha Fatto L'uovo

Starring: Gina Lollobrigida, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Ewa Aulin
Director: Giulo Questi

Premise:
Workers at a chicken farm are involved in a love triangle where the man also is a killer of prostitutes.

My Take:
An interesting film which doesn't piece things completely together. A husband and wife are both interested in their young secretary. The husband is also a bit deranged. He hires and murders prostitutes as the secretary keeps denying his advances. Also there farm is becoming more high tech and the need for workers becomes less. Strange accidents keep happening around the farm which former laborers are suspected. There is beautiful imagery from start to finish.

Rating: So Good
