Detective Belli (1969)

Plaza Pictures
Directed by Romolo Guerrieri
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Code Red)

Franco Nero is an amoral cop paid off by a lawyer to shield his son from a murder charge. Nero delves into the Italian fashion industry to find the real murderer, with plenty of stops along the way for beautiful women. It is an over-plotted, dialogue-heavy mystery with too many wrong turns and too many suspects. Even with Nero's dubious character, the ending is still a bit of a surprise. Good location shooting around Rome.
