Final Curtain

Final Curtain 1

Always remove remove your shoes before approaching a bedside J&B.

Final Curtain 2

This bottle stays in frame for nearly a full minute.

Verson Jetorix: “Dreamy, unconvincing giallo with Anne Heywood’s amnesia victim stalked by her husband’s killer (Telly Savalas). Pretty good score but the film lacks focus and suspense. But it has J&B.”

The great Franco Nero keeps his eye on the road while tilting back some J&B.

Verson Jetorix: “Beautifully photographed giallo with the great Franco Nero as a drunken journalist investigating a series of murders amongst people he knows.  Gorgeous Silvia Monti is Franco’s ex.  Ira von Furstenberg pulls a Kinski but gives it up.  With Wolfgang “Dr. Mabuse” Preiss, and babes Agostina Belli and Pamela Tiffin.  A clear winner, this made my top 100.”

Eye In The Labyrinth

Eye in the Labyrinth

Elisa Mainardi and Rosemary Dexter ignore a bottle of J&B.

Verson Jetorix: “Rosemary Dexter searches for a missing friend, Horst Frank, in exotic Italian locations encountering Alida Valli, Adolfo Celi, Franco Ressel, and J&B. Mario Caiano’s fever dream giallo is interesting and amusing enough to remain in rotation.”

Barbara Bouchet always drinks J&B when she’s not trying to seduce little boys.

Verson Jetorix: “Don’t torture me with more Fulci movies. I have a thing for Florinda Bolkan and she was treated rather cruelly here.”
