Chi l'Ha vista morire? (aka who saw her die?)
becomes part in the '70s Giallo genre.
Director Aldo Lado, differently than most of his collegues,
who attempted in the genre, goes awy totally from the plots
of the Dario Argento style movies that contradistinguish the
genre.
The personality of Lado attracted attention in the previous
movie LA CORTA NOTTE DELLE BAMBOLE DI VETRO that perfectly amalgamated
a solid giallo structure with politic thematics , attacking
feraciously the power.
The same can be said for Chi l'Ha vista morire? shooted in 1972;
here Lado has exagerated a loittle more telling even more anguishing
and shocking events.
The director describes a Venice made gloomy and bloody by a
little girl murder; her father (George Lazenby) finds himself
into a spyral of murders by the hand of a priest!!!
After politics Lado doesn't save even the religious institutions
(he'll do much better in his masterpiece L'Ultimo treno della
notte unhealthy story of violence with the total absence of
postive characters), demonstrating again to be a difficult outsider
of the italian cinema panorama. Digitmovies now releases Chi
L'Ha vista morire? as third volume of the series dedicated to
the music of Ennio Morricone for the italian Giallo.
Searching for in the Edipan Archives we could discover the stereo
master tapes used for the original 1972 album (Gemelli GG.ST.10-017)
and realize also that they were in very good conditions.
Sadly the complete session tapes did not survived until today,
but in few words the half hour of music contained in the LP
and here in our premiere CD release is all that was used for
the movie.
Ennio Morricone, in a genial way, did not write atonal music
as it is usual for the Giallo genre,but a series of music themes
with modern instrumentation (drums,electric guitars,keyboards)
all performed by children choir.
So a very suspended, haunted, musical atmosphere with an ancient
flavour turns out almost intentionally in contrast with the
violence of murders told in the plot.
Some of songs contains traditional texts, while others feature
original lyrics written by Maria Travia, wife of the composer.
Particularly suggestive is the splendid vocal performance
of Edda Dell'Orso in track 8. |

| story |
When the story begins a young girl who has
wandered away from her nanny at a French ski resort is abducted,
killed, and buried in the snow. Later, in Venice, the young
daughter of Franco (George Lazenby), a popular sculptor, is
stalked by a woman in a black veil. Finally, after several
near-chances, the girl is grabbed, only to be found later
floating in a canal. The police are as arrogant as they are
stumped, so Franco, accompanied by his estranged wife, Elizabeth
(Anita Strindberg), investigates. As Franco begins uncovering
clues, the people he talks to about the case begin to die
gruesome deaths.
