Two 1970s mystery thrillers from Luciano Ercoli
“Death Walks Twice” is a box set containing two feature films from the early 1970s directed by Luciano Ercoli and starring the director’s wife Nieves Navarro (billed under her adopted stage name of Susan Scott) as the leading character in peril. Both films — in Italian, with English subtitles — fall into the category of “giallo,” named for the yellow-jacketed pulp paperback thrillers popular in Italy during the 60s and 70s.<br /><br />In “Death Walks On High Heels&#34;(1971), Scott is an erotic nightclub dancer who incorporates an assortment of body paint and wigs in her act. She is stalked by a killer in a ski mask who is determined to get his hands on her murdered father’s stolen jewels. Desperate to get out of town, she turns to nightclub regular Dr. Robert Matthews (Frank Wolff), a rich British surgeon, who takes her to his home in the English countryside. Her pursuer, however, doesn’t give up easily and soon more murders occur.<br /><br />“Death Walks at Midnight” (1972) stars Scott as Valentina, a model tricked into taking a hallucinogenic drug during a photoshoot who witnesses a brutal murder in the apartment opposite hers. When it’s revealed that the savage slaying she describes relates to a crime that took place six months earlier, the police are perplexed. Much of the movie is spent with Valentina trying to convince a police inspector and her boyfriend that she’s witnessed a murder. This film is reminiscent of Alfred Hitchcock’s “Rear Window,” in which invalid James Stewart thinks he’s witnessed a man across the courtyard covering up the murder of his wife. Brian De Palma’s “Sisters,” made a year after “Death Walks at Midnight,” covers similar ground.<br /><br />Director Ercoli knows how to establish suspense and hold our attention as he presents lurid tales of murder. These are stories inspired by American film noir, but with a lot more sex, violence and blood. Like American noir, the films feature seamy, cynical types in unsavory, often dangerous, settings. The scripts of both movies are well crafted, and Ms. Scott — though no Meryl Streep — is an effective femme fatale. Production design is stylish and there is a pervasive feeling that danger lurks in unexpected places and at unexpected times.<br /><br />Both Blu-ray and standard DVD versions are included in the 4-disc box set. Bonus features include a visual essay exploring the collaboration between director Luciano Ercoli and star Susan Scott; audio commentary by film critic Tim Lucas; newly-edited archive interview with director Luciano Ercoli and actress Susan Scott; introductions to both films by screenwriter Ernesto Gastaldi; interviews in which Gastaldo discusses what constitutes good giallo; and reversible sleeves featuring original and newly commissioned artwork.

Here is a brief synopsis of the title : Emerging at the peak of the giallo boom of the early 70s, Luciano Ercoli s Death Walks films are two superlative examples of the genre linked by their shared casting of the stunning Nieves Navarro (billed under her adopted stage name of Susan Scott) as the lead woman in peril..
