6/10
Enjoyable but not one that sticks

This murder mystery is atmospheric and it's cool to see the images of Rome in the sixties. Even in black and white it looks wonderful and having visited the town in 2014 I must say I still recognized quite some places. It's nice to have a female protagonist who goes to investigate a murder she has seen. The idea that she might have witnessed a murder that happened 10 years ago was certainly interesting. The movie goes at a pretty relaxing pace along where we get to know every bit of these ABC murders. A few times we are tricked into having a false murderer. In the end the true murderer is found and I must admit I didn't see that coming. The movie is good with interesting ideas but its problem is there is no memorable scenes at all. Also the role of the young doctor clumsy and for comical relief at times did not really work well in my opinion. Leticia Roman was great in her role though.
