Ok, let me tell you first of all that here in England, where I am now, this movie is considered some sort of classic... highly recommended from critics and people I know, and recently re-issued on cinemas (probably restored) as an outstanding movie of British cinema history... Well, on these premises I can only say it was a complete disappointment! On the other hand, if you consider it as an unknown B movie (as it probably is for the rest of the world), it would easily rank among the good ones. I mean that it is not bad at all, there is an excellent (as usual) Donald Sutherland, a good score, some interesting scenes, Venice looks beautiful (is this a special merit by the director??), but the story is not so great, the famous erotic scene is nowadays quite conventional and anyway not so necessary to the movie, and the thrill or suspence is not that great at all... have you ever seen any Italian giallo? If not, try Argento, Bava, Fulci... at their best, you will surely find more suspence, skills and enjoyment.
