Death Walks On High Heels (1971)

Highly enjoyable giallo and only one of three that came from the helmsmanship of Luciano Ercoli. After a jewelry robbery one of the perpetrators is killed in his train compartment. His daughter (Susan Scott) is warned that the killer may be looking for her while trying to track down the missing jewels. And this is precisely what happens. But who is terrorising her? Starting in France, the action then moves to the south coast of England and the locations are a definite boon for the film. The denouement, while complicated, makes perfect sense and you are left thoroughly satisfied. There's even room for some humour from the English (sic) detective and his sidekick. Nice one.
