Thriller. An American writer on a working holiday in Rome sees what appears to be the attempted murder of a young woman in an art gallery and thus becomes involved in a series of knife murders of young women that has baffled the police.
Argento has acknowledged that the film is an uncredited adaptation of Fredric Brown's novel 'The Screaming Mimi', previously filmed in 1958 as SCREAMING MIMI.
