What're We Watching?

The coats are sitting down and ordering doubles--no triples--of J&B on the rocks while discussing director Luciano Ercoli's 1972 giallo: "Death Walks at Midnight". From rooftop chases to metal gauntlets and some hair-dos that define the phrase "Style over Substance", this film has it all.
The second film the coats have covered from director Luciano Ercoli, previously rifling through his 1970 giallo: "Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion". Have the coats turned coat and revised their opinions? Is Nieves Navarro the TRUE queen of giallo? And how much product placement for J&B can you fit in one film? All this and more on this episode of Conspicuous Trenchcoats.

The coats are clawing their way through their second giallo film from "The Master of the Thrill" aka "The Italian Hitchcock" aka "The Father of Fear". The one and only Dario Argento and his 1971 sophomore feature: "The Cat O' Nine Tails". Capitalizing on the success of his debut feature (The Bird with the Crystal Plumage), Argento quickly turned out his next film at the behest of the studios. He would go on to complete his animal trilogy with "Four Flies on Grey Velvet" in the same year. Often overshadowed by his later films, "Cat O' Nine Tails" has gained more praise in recent years as Dario's films get restored and reassessed. Will this cat have the coats giving it head scratches or will they have it neutered?

The Coats are keeping it close to the chest for the fourth giallo they've covered of Sergio Martino: "Torso" (1973). Also the fourth giallo film made by Mr. Martino, set in a rural college town of Perugia, where a masked maniac is terrorizing the students. A film the Coats have been DYING to see; will "Torso" win over the Coats hearts, or will would they have rather their bodies were torn limb from limb?

The coats are climbing up the exterior wall and into the cubist house of the one and only Dario Argento, to cover what we here at Conspicuous Trenchcoats consider the greatest giallo of all time, 1982's: "Tenebrae". Made and released well outside the giallo boom years of the early 70's, "Tenebrae" marked a return to the sub-genre for Argento; following a brief foray into the fantastique world of "Suspiria" and "Inferno". It was initially released in theaters with a lukewarm reception and heavy censorship, but over time has become a favorite of fans and critics alike.
