action

Independently of each other, two men watch on the beach as the young Francesco Villaverde apparently suffocates Mrs. Simmons after a conversation. The next day, her husband hires the detective Bob Martin to get an expensive necklace back from the deceased. With the support of a colleague and his girlfriend, Martin now deals with the living conditions of the very rich young man who lives with his mentally ailing wife in a luxurious villa.

At the same time, one of the witnesses, Locatelli, tries to blackmail Villaverde because they owe a debt to the Mafia, which sends two agents, Sophia Ferretti and the "Commodore". Villaverde tries to strangle Sophia at a meeting; it fails - but she is murdered by Locatelli. This is eliminated by the Commodore, who in turn is fatally wounded by Bob Martin. He reveals that Locatelli was responsible for both the murders and the theft. Francesco, classified as dangerous to the public, takes his own life.

criticism

“A mega kitscher based on a novel published in the Neue Revue . The worst expectations are spreading and [...] are even exceeded. My God, are there really such people? ”Asks Karsten Thurau. The film also disliked the lexicon of international films : “Confused and boring sex crime thriller, staged and acted in an amateurish way”. The Protestant film observer blows in the same horn: “A confused and amateurishly staged gangster episode whose only advantage is the photogenic location on the Italian Mediterranean coast. Unrelenting. "
