Giallo – J&B In The Movies

Not Even a Mouse

J&B floats? Try this at home.

He’s looking right through her, clearly.

Wearing J&B colors is recommended at all times.

J&B and Ouija boards DO. NOT. MIX.

Thanks eunoia and Kat!

Five Women for the Killer

…and your J&B.

Little known fact: All pay phones in Italy are required to have a J&B ashtray nearby.

We are familiar with a wistful longing for a blurry bottle of J&B.

Let’s see…

And she’s off.

J&B should be a welcome guest in any sophisticated home.

Thanks Ricardo Trembles!

A Rather Complicated Girl

What Catherine Spaak is about to give Jean Sorel is a bit more complicated than a shot of J&B.

Verson Jetorix: “Jean Sorel becomes involved with artist Catherine Spaak, who is also involved with her stepmother, Florinda Bolkan, the administrator of her inheritance. Sorel eventually gets the idea that Bolkan should be removed from the picture but is he just being used? Damiano Damiani’s arty indictment of the upper-class flirts with giallo conventions but never attains the allure of the best examples. One for completionists.”

Devil in the Brain

Wrong order, but it’s a blurry Italian movie so probably a J&B chaser this morning.

Verson Jetorix: “Keir Dullea returns to Italy to track down his former love, Stefania Sandrelli (Black Belly of the Tarantula). After being rebuffed by her mother, he discovers that Stefania has regressed to a child-like state due to a terrible shock. Keir teams up with a psychologist to learn what happened. Sergio Sollima’s (The Big Gundown) giallo is a clever mystery with the past unveiled in seamless flashbacks. Perhaps with a bit more star power, this intriguing entry would be more highly regarded. As it stands, fans of more intelligent genre examples will find this impressive. Recommended.”

The Weapon, the Hour, the Motive

This is what we like to call a serious J&B attitude problem.
