Who Saw Her Die?
A child is murdered in Venice. A grieving father hunts the killer through the fog.
A giallo soaked in grief and Venetian fog. After his young daughter is murdered, a sculptor investigates a series of child killings and uncovers a conspiracy of respectable men. The subject is grim and the film treats it with more weight than the cycle usually managed, closer in spirit to Don't Look Now, which it predates.
George Lazenby, briefly the screen's James Bond, plays the father, and Ennio Morricone provides an unusually mournful children's-choir score. Melancholy and effective.

Filed alongside
Death Walks at Midnight
Ercoli's brighter, faster Death Walks. Nieves Navarro sees a murder and nobody buys it.
The Fifth Cord
The best-looking giallo nobody names, shot by Storaro between two Bertoluccis.
The Perfume of the Lady in Black
Barely a murder mystery. A slow psychological collapse, and superb.
Death Walks on High Heels
Ercoli's best. Structurally cleverer than most of the cycle.
The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave
A widower lures redheads to his castle to get over his dead wife. Nonsense plot, glorious mood.
Short Night of Glass Dolls
Narrated by a paralysed man presumed dead. Unusual and very good.
