Genre label Shameless Films has announced that 1972 giallo Who Saw Her Die? will be released on Blu-ray and digital on demand 26th August 2024.
George Lazenby, in a career-defining departure from his role as James Bond 007 (On Her Majesty’s Secret Service), delivers a powerful, gutsy performance in Aldo Lado’s chillingly disturbing giallo masterpiece, Who Saw Her Die?.
Lazenby portrays Franco Serpieri, a sculptor recently separated from his wife (Anita Strindberg). He invites their young daughter, Roberta (Nicoletta Elmi), to spend time with him in an autumnal Venice. As father and daughter joyfully make up for lost time exploring the city, their idyllic bonding is shattered when Roberta becomes the target of a dangerous child-killer lurking in the city’s foggy canals. Consumed by grief and driven by a thirst for justice, a tormented Franco embarks on his own investigation, uncovering vicious depravity in the highest echelons of Venetian society controlled by a Machiavellian art-dealer Adolfo Celi (Largo in 007’s Thunderball).
Bearing striking and uncanny similarities to Nicolas Roeg’s later film, Don’t Look Now, Lado’s Who Saw Her Die? delves into a father’s haunting guilt within a spellbinding giallo mystery. Enhanced by Ennio Morricone’s eerie score and Franco Di Giacomo’s (The Good, The Bad & The Ugly) evocative cinematography, now properly revealed in this definitive 2K- restored version, it showcases the giallo genre at its most chilling and captivating.
