Date for a Murder (1967)


Directed by Mino Guerrini
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia

Two American friends meet up in Italy for a wedding. However, the groom goes missing and it is up to his pal, a private detective, to find him. Clues lead to Rome where he soon gets caught up with industrial spies who will stop at nothing, including murder. He gets help from an Italian police commissioner who doesn't like his trigger happy American ways, but in the end must admit they work. He also is assigned to look after a young party girl, who provides him with plenty of distractions. Mischaracterized as an early giallo, this is actually a Eurospy flick, and a rather poor one at that, co-written by Fernando Di Leo, who would go on to bigger and greater things.
