While my preference in Giallo films lies in the ones that play out in a more Horror or Gothic kind of way, One On Top Of The Other (Perversion Story) sits at the other end of the spectrum which is more of a Crime Detective Thriller. So no groovy music. No trippy scenes. No creepy castle. No grisly murders. However the convoluted plot and naked boobs are both present. Jean Sorel and Marissa Mell are both great but this is my least favorite film I've seen either in so far. Nothing new plotwise: dead spouse, extramarital affairs, insurance policy, brown trenchcoat wearing detective ... zzzzzzz ... Somebody put some cheese on this salt-free stale cracker! Where's Sergio Martino when you need him?
