ronringhoffer Fun but hard to find Giallo. Contains spoilers. The movie has a decent cast and is directed by an excellent director, Alfonso Brescia. The movie features all very attractive actors in the leading roles. The male lead is Robert Hoffman who has starred in many excellent Giallos including Death Carries a Cane, Sergio Martino's Spasmo, and many others. Robert Hoffman is an excellent leading man. He is hired to meet up with a beautiful daughter of a man who just died 1 day after taking out a 1 million dollar insurance policy. The beautiful daughter is played by Pilar Velazquez who starred in several excellent films of the time including Churchill's Leopards with Klaus Kinski and the exciting Fernando Baldi spaghetti western Forgotten Pistolero. Pilar Velazquez has a beautiful (and young looking) mother played by Irena Demick and a sexy sister played by Patrizia Adiutori. Irena Demick is best known from movies like These Magnificent Mmen in Their Flying Machines, The Visit with Ingrid Bergman, and The Sicilian Clan starring Alain Delon. Irena Demick is very attractive and she makes a play for Robert Hoffman, who is dating her daughter, Pilar Velazquez. The other sister is played by Patrizia Adiutori who looks really nice but can't seem to keep her clothes on. She is shown having soft core sex with her boyfriend. She then has a romp with our leading man Robert Hoffman (the lucky guy) and then is found dead lying outside nude. She is the title of the movie The Nude Girl in the Park. There are several twists at the end of the movie. I don't want to ruin them for you. I would recommend the movie for fans of Giallos. The movie is nothing to write home about but it isn't bad either. The good cast including Adolfo "Thunderball" Celi as the police inspector, is definitely solid and above average. The women all look great and the movie has a fun feel to it. I have only seen this available as a bootleg on DVD-r. I would really enjoy seeing an official release of this.

The_Void Well, my relationship with Giallo thus far has been so good that I wouldn't hesitate to name this sort of film as my favourite - but I was bound to come up against a completely redundant one before long, and that's exactly what we have here. Naked Girl Killed in the Park is as uninspiring as its title, which is unfortunate as the plot itself is ripe for springing a good Giallo from. We follow the murder of a rich man whose body was found on an amusement park ride. The most intriguing thing about this murder is that the man has just completed a one million dollar life insurance deal! Naturally, the insurance company isn't too keen on paying out after such a short period of time, so they send out their best agent; who starts his investigation by infiltrating the family and seducing the youngest daughter. Director Alfonso Brescia continually fails to generate any suspense and/or intrigue - and this means that the resulting film is really rather boring. The music rarely fits what's on screen - and the film also seems bathed in the score, rather than having the two exist in harmony.The murders are far too tame, and while some blood wouldn't have saved the movie; it would have garnered it slightly more praise at least. The acting is mostly terrible, with Robert Hoffman (A Black Veil for Lisa, Spasmo) not doing brilliantly in leading a cast of unknowns with his under-wrought performance. The title of the film does come true as a naked dead girl does turn up in a park; but it's over half way through before that happens, and since the murder that kicks the plot off involves a rich man and a carnival, it makes you wonder why this title was chosen - probably to drag in more viewers. The plot is not very well handled at all, and I spent most of the film wondering what exactly was going on. It's not long before the movie starts to get boring, and it's that reason that is responsible for not even the rather good ending making any sort of impression on this Giallo fan. Overall, Naked Girl Killed in the Park is the worst Giallo I've seen so far - and while I don't doubt that there are worse films lurking in the wilderness of the Italian thriller, this one certainly isn't worth tracking down.

lazarillo The best thing I can say about this minor giallo is that there really IS a naked girl killed in a park. In fact, as per the Italian title there is a COMPLETELY naked girl killed in a park. (There's a couple other naked girls too, but only one of them is killed in a park). That's pretty much the highlight of the movie though.It starts off in a pretty interesting way with the first-person POV of a funhouse ride which turns out to be from the POV of a dead man!The dead man had just bought a million dollar life insurance, so an intrepid insurance investigator (Robert Hoffman) is called in. He dodges the police investigator on the case (former Bond villain Adolf Celli)and becomes involved with the man's two sexy but neurotic daughters as well as his sexy but neurotic widow (who judging by the looks of her must have given birth to her two daughters when she was about ten). More people die before the final revelation which, unfortunately, is pretty stupid and involves the guilty party delivering a ridiculous soliloquy to a giant portrait of the dead man. It ends back in the amusement park with yet another pretty dumb turn of events.The lead Hoffman is awful, but Celli is pretty good if underused. The women are pretty, but they're definitely not at the acting level of an Edwige Fenech, Rosalba Neri, or Erica Blanc, or even lesser lights of the gialli like Nieves Navarro or Femi Benussi. Pretty forgettable overall--except for the naked girl killed in park.
