Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Michael_Elliott What Have They Done to Your Daughters? (1974) *** (out of 4)A teenage girl commits suicide and at first the two inspectors (Claudio Cassinelli, Giovanna Ralli) think it's just a random case but soon more bodies begin to appear. After questioning a peeping tom the police learn that there's a group of teenage girls being kidnapped for a prostitution ring and a maniac on a motorcycle willing to kill to keep it a secret.This is the second film in the "schoolgirls in peril" giallo series, which started with WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO SOLANGE? Both that film and this one were directed by Massimo Dallamano but whereas the first went for a good classic mystery, this second film is pure exploitation and offers up plenty of nudity and some graphic death scenes. This film certainly isn't a masterpiece but it's slightly entertaining.The best thing the film has going for it is the direction, which includes one terrific sequence inside a parking garage where one of our inspectors is stalked by the maniac dressed in black. The entire sequence is well-directed and really contains some nice tension. The film also benefits from its rather naughty story-line and there's no question that it has a rather perverted feel for the teenage girls and the prostitution ring.The film also benefits from a nice cast who certainly help keep the picture moving. This includes Ralli as the female investigator as well as a supporting bit by Farley Granger as a victim's father. The cinematography is quite good throughout and we're also given a nice score.WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOUR DAUGHTERS? is a rather sleazy entry in the giallo genre and while the mystery isn't the greatest ever written, there's enough here to make it worth watching.

chaos-rampant As is probably obvious by the lurid title, Massimo Dallamano returns to the same teenagers in peril themes he explored two years earlier in his giallo What Have You Done to Solange. Only this time around the focus is more on the police procedure than the blood and sleaze that is associated with the giallo. What remains the same though is the classy visual style and the mystery aspect.The discovery of a young girl hanged in a run-down attic leads the police to an underground prostitution ring. The story lacks the myriad red herrings of the giallo but it retained suspense and mystery well enough to keep me glued on the screen. Dallamano however throws a black-clad killer in the mix and punctuates this police proceedural with a couple of very well done gore scenes (hand decapitation, machete in the head, screwdriver in the belly; take your pick). As a testament to Dallamano's style, the killer is always shot close-up with wide-angle lenses that adds a reality distortion of sorts.Add to that a sterling score by Cipriani that is equal parts suspenseful and subtle and some well handled action scenes and car chases in the poliziottescho mold (although it lacks the rampant energy of one, so I wouldn't classify it as such) and here you have a movie that is definitely worth the time of ANY fan of 70's Italian crime cinema. I shouldn't forget to mention that the copy I saw had surprisingly good dubbing too.

Prof-Hieronymos-Grost A young naked schoolgirl is found hanged in a room locked from the inside, the police suspect suicide, until that is the clues seem to point in the direction of murder. So when the police led by Inspector Silvestri(Claudio Cassinelli) with the assistance of the asst district attorney Vittoria Stori (Giovanna Ralli) realise that they are investigating a teen prostitute ring with some highly influential people involved, they know they are going to have a tough time convicting anyone and sure enough their investigation is dogged with interference and dead ends. Dallamano director of What have they done to Solange? again returns to his schoolgirl in peril themed story and like its predecessor it's a highly controversial topic that is handled professionally and intelligently. Despite its topic, there's very little in the way of visual sleaziness here, the offences against the girls are confined to tape recordings the police have and its from these that they build their case. The film is in fact only half Giallo and plays more like a Poliziotteschi (Italian police procedure film), we only get brief glimpses of the leather clad killer as he tries to cover up his identity by killing those who might be able to give him away. Stelvio Cipriani again provides an excellent score, the film looks good visually, no more than you'd expect from a director who used to ply his trade as a cinematographer, there's also a very memorable chase scene that livens up the film immensely. Claudio Cassinelli and Cortese provide some fine acting in their respective roles, if there is such thing as a high brow Giallo this must surely be it.

pumaye From the director of the excellent what have you done to Solange, Massimo Dallamano, here is a strange Italian giallo, more a police procedural (an a really lurid tale, a ring of teens used as prostitutes by people in very high places - that was the time, in Italy, when several directors and scripwriters tried their hands on very hot subjects, like this one) than an Argentian thriller (but it is scary enough in a few places and also very gory). It starts with the false suicide of a very young girl, hanged nude under a roof and then proceeds with a lot of cars and bikes chases (the killer is always covered by a motorcycle helmet until the very end - it is possible that the director of Night School took from here the idea of the killer masked with an helmet), almost always running without pauses. Tense and scary enough, good almost till the end (a lot too Dillenger for my tastes).
