Giallo in Venice.

Inspector depaul(jeff blynn) is a big haired cop in venice who enjoys eating hard boiled eggs, and is investigating the deaths of a married couple found by the river. and discovers that the husband was a sex maniac who made his wife go with other men. Then it goes back to show what happened before the couple ended up dead, including all kinds of weird kinky sex and a few particulary nasty murders with a chap being burnt alive, a stabbing in the crotch, and the most infamous scene, a woman tied naked to a table and getting her leg sawn off. and surprise surprise, it's old regular Mariangela Diordano who lost her boob in Burial Ground. she must look back on her career with fond memories.

Definately not the greatest giallo ever made, as it has very little style or suspense. but it certainly packs a punch in the sleaze department and is a strangely compelling watch.
acting isn't too bad either even if they spend most of the time having sex that drags on for ages.
Overall it's not too bad, but definately not one to watch with the family. 70 out of 100.
