In The Eye of The Hurricane (1971).
More of a mystery thriller than a giallo, with a bit of eroticism thrown in as well.
Analia Gadé plays Ruth, a rich woman who leaves her husband Michel, for Paul, played by Jean Sorel.
When they go to her sunny villa in the Cote d' Azur, a series of mysterious accidents start to happen to her, brakes failing on the car, faulty oxygen tank whilst scuba diving. At first, she thinks it's her husband trying to kill her boyfriend, but it becomes apparent that there's more to it than that.
Very little violence in this film. But still worth a watch for the cinematography and great locations. Anna Gadé may not be an Edwige Fenech, but she's nice on the eye and gives a good performance.
Nice transfer as well from 88 Films. 7/10.
