Who Saw Her Die? -- BEFORE DON'T LOOK NOW CAME WHO SAW HER DIE?
The mists that wreathe the eerie city of Venice become the hunting ground for a faceless child killer that seemingly cannot be stopped in the taut and brilliant thriller, Who Saw Her Die? directed by Aldo Lado (Night Train Murders).
When Franco (in a career-best performance by George Lazenby) loses his daughter to this shadowy elusive murderer he sets off on an unnerving journey of retribution that will bring him to the very edge of his sanity and quite possibly his life too.

Rigid with tense atmospheric style, this film bears an uncanny resemblance in mood to the classic Don't Look Now but was actually made a year before. Boasting starkly evocative cinematography by Franco Di Giacomo (Il Postino) and a score by Ennio Morricone, Who Say Her Die haunts the mind long after viewing it.

Who Saw Her Die? (cert. 18) is released uncut (for the first time in the UK) on DVD by Shameless Screen Entertainment. The film will be presented restored with missing footage and remastered in 2.35:1 with English 2.0 sound. Also included on the disc is a Shameless original trailer gallery.

A formulaic but engaging murder mystery, 15 February 2004
Author: Aaron C. Schepler from Arizona USA

WHO SAW HER DIE? (1972) *** George Lazenby, Anita Strindberg, Peter Chatel, Adolfo Celi. In this engaging giallo directed by Aldo Lado, George Lazenby plays Franco Serpieri, a well-known Venetian sculptor. After Serpieri's young daughter is murdered, he grows impatient with the efforts of the police and tries to find the killer himself, with some help from his estranged wife (Strindberg). The film sticks to a familiar formula: the likely suspects are killed off one by one, and the last man (or woman) standing is revealed as the murderer. But the process feels clumsier than it ought to here, and since the killer turns out to be one of the film's least developed characters, the ending is less than satisfying. Fortunately, though, painterly cinematography and an intriguing score by the brilliant Ennio Morricone help compensate for the weaknesses of the script. Recommended.
