George Lazenby's daughter is killed and he goes on a mission to find the killer, undaunted by the amount of bodies piling up.
Reminiscent of the following year’s classier ‘Don’t Look Now’, this also revolves around a dead child whilst in the midst of a Venetian backdrop, but George Lazenby is no Donald Sutherland (but saying that, Sutherland has never played Bond, and never will, so there.) and he seems to sleepwalk through his role. However it’s yet another highly watchable giallo that’s neither one of the best nor one of the worst. There is an amusing bit right at the end where a character comes running shouting to Lazenby what is basically a disclaimer against any possible bad press from certain factions which is head scratchingly out of place and seems more damage limitation than plot. Mention must go to the superb Morricone soundtrack, one of his best.
