…stylish, perverse entertainment…

In many ways, as both its plot and title indicate, Luciano Ercoli's jazzy 1970 directorial debut, The Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion, is merely highly stylized pastiche.

The plot is arguably nothing remarkable, and the denouement might not work for you, but overall this is an excellent example of how the Italian industry could marry entertainment with art.

Doesn't cut it.
