Deadly Sweet (1967)


Films Distributing Corporation
Directed by Tinto Brass
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Cult Epics)

Trintignant falls in love with pretty young Ewa Aulin when he sees her dancing in a go-go club. It turns out Ewa's father was recently killed in a hit and run accident, and together they try to figure out who did it. They wander around swinging London and she takes fashion shots. At one point, Ewa gets kidnapped by a midget and Trintignant saves her. Later, they get chased by the police, they capture him and beat him up. Another body turns up and they are no closer to finding the killer. They attend "a happening" where psychedelic music is played and mods freak out wearing colored glasses. Threadbare plot is more about style than substance, filled with dated pop culture and with an unsatisfying resolution.
