Assassination in Rome (1965)

Directed by Silvio Amadio
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Dark Sky Films)

When a body turns up at the famous Trevi Fountain in Rome, the police have few if any clues on the identity of the victim or the killer. A wealthy American woman's husband goes missing on the same day and she turns to an old friend and local newspaper reporter for help. He makes the connection between the body and the missing person case. The clues lead to narcotics, blackmail and international military secrets. A talky thriller that does, however, incorporate some elements of the emerging giallo genre in Italy and certainly worth a look for fans.
