The Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion1970
“A triangle of friendship, love, sex, and, perhaps, murder.”
Directed by Luciano Ercoli
The premise
The wife of a financially struggling businessman is blackmailed by a mysterious man into having a sadistic relationship with him, or he will release damning evidence that suggests that her husband is a murderer.
Horror Vault's take
A financially troubled marriage becomes a pressure cooker when a mysterious stranger targets a woman with a devastating threat against her husband, forcing her into a degrading arrangement she cannot easily escape. Set against a sleek early-1970s European backdrop, the film weaves obsession and manipulation into a tightly coiled thriller where no one's motives can be taken at face value. Fans of Italian genre cinema will find the film's erotic charge and creeping paranoia characteristic of the giallo tradition at its most psychologically probing.
