A great example of the genre
The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh has just about everything a Giallo fan could ask for. All of the necessary ingredients are here: brutal murders, bizarre sex scenes, plot twists, interesting camera work, a nice score, and Edwige Fenech. – Brutal Murders: The killer uses a razor to slash his victims’ throats to ribbons resulting in plenty of blood flow. – Bizarre Sex: I don’t’ know about you but beating the crap out of your partner prior to engaging in sex seems pretty bizarre to me. – Plot Twists: Just when you’re sure you finally gotten a handle on the plot and solved the mystery, The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh gives you yet another twist to wrap your mind around. – Interesting Camera Work: The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh is a great looking film with unusual camera angle and lens choices. Visually, it’s very pleasing. – A Nice Score: Even though composer Nora Orlandi’s main theme is repeated throughout the film, I never get tired of hearing it. It’s a hauntingly beautiful piece that helps set the mood of the film very well. – Edwige Fenech: The Queen of the Giallo.The plot involves a crazed killer with an eye for women is on the loose. Julie Wardh (Edwige Fenech) is very much afraid because of the direct threats she has received from the killer. She’s also convinced the killer is an ex-boyfriend. When the real killer is himself killed, that should put an end to Julie’s fears. But it doesn’t. The threats against Julie’s life continue. I readily admit that there are plot holes big enough to drive a truck through and lapses in logic the size of the Grand Canyon, but that hardly matters when you’re having this much fun with a movie. Blemishes and all, The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh is a great example of the genre and one of the reasons I keep seeking out these hard to find Italian gems.
Among the best in my opinion
Sergio Martino’s “Lo Strano vizio della Signora Wardh” (1970) is a welcome addition to the list of giallos that had remained long unseen for me. Martino has done some of the most interesting of the 70’s exploitation cinema (like “Torso” and “Mountain of the Cannibal God”) and also an interesting spaghetti western “Mannaja.” The giallo hasn’t as hard-to-follow and confusing plot as it could have, there are not too many characters which makes their efforts and plot turns easy to follow. The story is simple and involves strange murders closely related to beautiful Wardh lady. There are some masterfully constructed mystery / giallo segments that look no less ambitious than those of Dario Argento. I mean mostly the garage scene and the “gas” scene near the end. These build the suspense well and involve the audience much better than some of the more gore-oriented works of the genre. Martino’s film has also some stylish and violent murders but fortunately he didn’t concentrate only on them. The locations are simply stunning, and the end twist is surprising and certainly original in my opinion. I think this is among the best of the giallo genre, on the same level with Mario Bava’s “Blood and Black Lace”, the films by Argento and Tonino Valerii’s “My Dear Killer”, for example, to name just a few.
