Smile Before Death (1972)

Hugely enjoyable Giallo about inheritance and murder starring Rosalba Neri, Jenny Tamburi and Silvano Tranquilli. Lots of nudity as Neri photographs the oft naked Tamburi and features a finale i didn't see coming but also an actual final scene even i could see from a mile away.

Roberto Pregadio's excellent score includes the ear worm of all ear worms 'Iena Sequence' which has since become a classic of Italian lounge music and is perversely erotic and disturbing all at the same time.
