Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe first line of the title track "You" states "You represent everything I detest in a man." and then goes on to individually catalog these detestable qualities, pretty much summed up in the character Maurice. Appropriate then, that he should choose to put on the record as soon as he arrives at the hunting lodge, plotting Helen's death.
- GoofsWhen Helen finds the missing washer for her engine in Maurice's breast pocket, there is no explanation, other than maybe x-ray vision, that she should know it was there, particularly as Maurice would have been unlikely to fool around with her engine in a dress suit.
- Quotes
Lily Harmer: You represent everything I detest in a man.
- Crazy creditsThe opening credits are shown against a background of scenes from the movie, but in negative form.
- Alternate versionsThere are two versions available. Running times are: "1h 34m(94 min)" and "1h 28m(88 min) (Spain)".

Featured review
Carroll Baker's Italian stage continues
When you think of Carroll Baker, you most likely remember her roles in Elia Kazan's "Baby Doll" or George Stevens's "Giant", or something of that nature. What you might not know is that she spent a few years in Italy starring in giallo movies. Among her most notable outings in this genre were Umberto Lenzi's movies. She started with his "Orgasmo"* (called "Paranoia" in the US), playing a rich woman from the US who has a bizarre experience with some young people in Italy. Another entry in this genre was Lenzi's "Paranoia" (called "A Quiet Place to Kill" in the US, to avoid confusion with the other movie).
My interpretation of this movie is clouded by the poor copy that I watched; the DVD kept skipping over damaged areas, so I don't know how much of the movie I saw. What I saw was tolerable, if less than stellar.
Whatever the case, these movies are good for a watch. And seriously, was Carroll Baker a babe or what? Okay, if nothing else.
*I learned of Baker from this movie. It turned out that I'd already seen her in some movies, but she hadn't registered in my mind previously.
