Original Title: Un posto ideale per uccidere
Also Known As: An Ideal Place to Kill; Dirty Pictures
Directed by: Umberto Lenzi
Synopsis: An extremely lurid thriller, heavily larded with sexual content, which follows the misadventures of beautiful wanton Ingrid Sjoman (Ornella Muti) and lean and scruffy Dick Butler (Raymond Lovelock), a young couple who sell dirty pictures to support their freewheeling hedonistic lifestyle. The pair make a bad decision when they become entangled with the rich and precariously married Barbara Slater (Irene Papas), whose motives are inexplicable and whose morals are even more dubious than their own.
Purr Blur: While celebrating a big sale by gorging at an outdoor cafe, Ingrid offers a glass of champagne to Dick, who passes it down to the grey tabby cafe cat who is contemplating a generous plate of scraps. Thankfully, the experienced cat doesn’t seem interested in the drink.
Final Mewsings: Hey, mate, watch what you’re doing! Alcohol is dangerous for cats!
