One of the models keeps a diary of the forbidden love affairs and recreational drug smuggling that takes place at a swanky fashion salon where she works, and the murderer is willing to do whatever it takes to silence whomever reads it. A stylish film from the Italian king of shock cinema, Mario Bava. [More]
