Bloody silk (original title: Sei donne per l'assassino ) is a crime film by the director Mario Bava from 1964, which was made in an Italian - French - German co-production.

action

The aristocratic Cristina runs a modeling agency together with Max. The model Isabella is murdered. The police under Inspector Silvestri are unsuccessful. Neither in the agency nor with Isabella's friend Frank are there any hints or motives. Nicole, another agency model, discovers Isabella's diary, which contains records of drugs, blackmail, and intrigue at the agency. Nicole wants to hand the diary over to the police, but is also murdered. Your colleague Peggy took the diary from before the murder. The killer breaks into Peggy's apartment and waits for her. Since the murder happens while the suspects are in police custody, the inspector has to start over.

Max is welcomed at home by Cristina - he is responsible for the murders so far; Cristina covers him and murdered Tao-Li masked, but is disturbed and crashes on their escape. The interferer was Max, who in this way cleared the confidante out of the way. While packing up the belongings at home, Max freezes: Cristina is still alive and, wounded to death, takes revenge on her traitorous lover. During the call from Inspector Silvestri, she too dies.
