Did You Know?
| Trivia | This film belongs to the Italian film genre called "giallo", so named due to a series of popular Italian detective novels, published in 1929, all bound in yellow covers, "giallo" meaning "yellow" in Italian. Ultimately the term became generalized for all detective stories, in print or on film. While Mrs. Moss is waiting for the elevator, she drops a magazine called "Killer Man", with a cover design featuring the typical figure, immediately recognizable to giallo aficionados , of a shadowy silhouette, dressed in a fedora and raincoat, gloves, and, of course, carrying a knife. Though the covers are no longer yellow, little old lady Moss is a big fan of murder mysteries, "gialli" (plural) in Italian. See more » |
| Goofs | Good thing they changed the film's English title to "Case of the Bloody Iris", since the Italian title translates as "Why the strange drops of blood on Jennifer's body?", but, though there are splatters of blood on most of the other women in the picture, and there are, indeed, drops of blood on an iris, apart from one little pin pricked finger, there are NO drops of blood, strange or otherwise, on Jennifer's body.

Commissioner Enci:
[to Sheila, of a letter she says she sent Jennifer as a joke]
Say, how 'bout joking with a man? You might make out even better. You know, it's a shame to,see a girl like you wasting her talents. Try the opposite sex. That's what we're here for. See more » |
