The Good detective, the Bad killer and the Ugly Sheriff
Now here’s something you don’t encounter every day… “A Knife for the Ladies” is a genre hybrid between western and horror. No wait, let me specify that even more, it’s a western mixed with strong and typical giallo trademarks! Of course, you can’t really be sure if this was intentional. Was director Larry G. Sprangler even aware that overseas, in contemporary Italy, the giallo existed or was it just a lucky but coincidental choice to provide this film’s killer with black leather gloves and make him/her hunt down lurid women with a sharp knife? It also doesn’t matter that much, as the combo works quite effectively! “A Knife for the Ladies” is a heavily flawed film, mostly suffering from a pacing that is far too slow and a very poor use of western decors and set-pieces, but the plot is still an engaging whodunit and the murders are reasonably grisly. The town of Mescal is plagued by vicious murders and, so far, the bodies of three women have been discovered with their throats slit. The town council decides to hire private detective Burns to find the culprit, since Sheriff Jarrod is too incompetent to solve anything except for wrongly parked horses. Burns runs into a few suspects, including a morbid undertaker and the nasty saloon-owner who secretly aspires to become sheriff, but meanwhile the murders continue. “A Knife for the Ladies” is a recommendable effort, especially if you’re into obscure and experimental 70s horror, but you’ll have to accept the snail-pace, the lack of directorial style and the poorly created western setting. On the bright side, crazy-eyed Jack Elam is always a pleasure to watch and the denouement is vile and twisted in good old-fashioned Giallo tradition (albeit somewhat predictable if you look at the poster images)
