The Fourth Victim (1971)



 
aka
La última señora Anderson
aka
Death at the Deep End of the Swimming Pool
 
 
Fairly enjoyable British set Spanish giallo from Eugenio Martin director of Horror Express.
 Carroll Baker is the new wife of Michael Craig's character Arthur Anderson who's previous three wives have all died in mysterious circumstances, will she become the next (hence the title of the movie).
 Shot around Windsor and Ascot the scenery is quite lovely and it's always interesting to see how foreign films portray our constabulary. Portly and inept this time around although the inspector does have a fantastic Welsh accent that brightens up the proceedings and provides a few chuckles.
  Great smooth score from Piero Umiliani keeps things rolling along nicely and there's a certain
amount of tension in the final third to keep one interested.
  Worth checking out i'd say, especially if you're a Baker fan.
