Il sorriso del ragno (1971)

Review by christopher-underwood

Il sorriso del ragno

5/10

it just isn't thrilling

Apparently Director, Massimo Castellani was given the chance to make this in Greece after assisting Lucio Fulci on One On Top Of The Other but never helmed another. I'm not surprised, this begins with some promise as if it might become a jaunty Euro spy outing, all jangling music, short skirts and compelling chases, twists and surprises. No such luck and here the first thing one notices is just how long the main man is taking to get hold of the job in hand instead of befriending the young lady which seems to be leading him nowhere. Things get worse as long chases begin, by car and on foot to little avail. We move from Marseilles to Rhodes and whilst not unpleasant as a travelogue this film really begins to fall away in the complete absence of any tension or dare I say even any interest. I guess, this would be acceptable if the main leads had great charisma or chemistry together but alas not. Lovely print of a most obscure thriller but I'm afraid it just isn't thrilling.
