Released in the UK as But You Were Dead, La lunga notte di Veronique is about Giovanni Bernardi (Alba Rigazzi) losing his parents in an automobile crash and then coming to stay with his grandfather Count Marco Anselmi (Walter Pozzi). There, his love for his girlfriend (Anna Maria Aveta) is in doubt once he becomes obsessed with Veronique (Cristina Gaioni), the spectral woman that he sees every night.
Director Gianni Vernuccio is barely mentioned by fans of Italian genre cinema. He made the 1964 proto giallo L'uomo che bruciò il suo cadavere, a peplum named Desert Warrior and another by the title Desert Desparados that stars Ruth Roman. He also wrote this with Enzo Ferrari, who IMDB lists as the same man that started the car company. There's no way that that can be true, right? Because this writer used the name Enzo Ferraris and also wrote movies that were all directed by Vernuccio.
This has a slow pace and wants to be in the gothic Italian tradition of Bava and Margheriti. It doesn't have their abilities behind the camera, but I still am a sucker for any time an Italian woman in a white dress dances through fog.
