Four flies on Grey Velvet.
A rock drummer Roberto(Michael brandon) is getting followed by a mysterious chap and ends up accidently stabbing him to death when he confronts him. but ends up getting blackmailed by someone wearing a bizarre mask who takes photos of the murder.
I have to say that i didn't like this film at all when i first watched it. but i must admit that i found it a lot more enjoyable this time around. yes, i still think that Michael brandon is a boring lead and Mimsy Farmer who plays his wife in the film is still as exciting as a lamp post
, but apart from that i did find the plot quite interesting and Dario's style is still there in the camera work and the key murder scenes in the park and the woman going down the stairs, plus the idea behind the 4 flies clue is quite intriging as well.
The comedy is still a bit overdone though, and while i don't mind his attempts at humour like in Cat and Bird, i still think it was a bit too much in this film, with the tramp God, and the Hallelujah, the other tramp who was a cross between Groucho Marks and Woody Allen, the porno mailman, and the camp private eye chap who was useless at solving cases, oh and not forgetting the
strange coffin convention.
not too bad at all though, and a film that seems to improve on repeated viewings 72 out of 100.
