Enjoyable and Scenic view of San Francisco of 1969. Good music and acting. The story may have needed more work.
The copy that I viewed was from youtube, washed out and distorted video, the audio and music was fine. I must have lost something in from the Italian to English translation, and the bad video did not help. However, it was enjoyable to watch. The story seemed to need more work. I don't know who's dead body was in the morgue, was that the nurse assigned to watch over the wife, I don't know.
Filmed well, and the scenes of 1969 San Francisco along with the music are worth the admission. I'd like to watch a clean copy of this someday.
Rating is a B-/C, 6 stars.

a top notch sex and psychedelic dressed mystery
This may not be a horror film or even strictly a giallo but still it's a top notch sex and psychedelic dressed mystery that is a must see for fans of mid sixties to mid seventies Italian cinema. Perhaps more restrained than one might expect from Fulci and the pace a little uneven but this film looks so good! Great cinematography with splendid sweeping scenic shots of San Francisco and playful quirky close-ups that make one gasp. Full of delights such as the photo shoots, the nightclub sequences as well as the splendid use of the locations plus a super soundtrack from Riz Ortolani and not forgetting plenty of colourful nudity. The conclusion is sensational and the death row sequences suitably creepy and if there is more than a whiff of Hitchcock, whose complaining? Excellent.
