The Fifth Cord (1971)



Fantastic giallo from director Luigi Bazzoni and star Franco Nero.
 Nero plays an alcoholic reporter and possible suspect in a series of murders where the killer leaves a black glove with a finger cut off at the scene of each crime.
 A great supporting cast that includes Edmund Purdom, Rosella Falk, Silvia Monti and Agostina Belli add real depth to their characters but the real star of the show is Vittorio Storaro's stunning cinematography that is just as stylish here as it was for Argento's Bird With The Crystal Plumage.
  Add to the mix another superb score from Ennio Morricone and the result is one of the greatest Italian thrillers of the 70's that is an absolute must see movie.
