Una farfalla con le ali insanguinate [The Bloodstained Butterfly] (Duccio Tessari, 1971)

Because, in the way I see it, the killer could only be one of two types. Either a person who was seized by a sudden impulse and in all probability has no police record, or else, a sex maniac.

Io la conoscevo bene [I Knew Her Well] (Antonio Pietrangeli, 1965)

Trouble is, she likes everything. She's always happy. She desires nothing, envies no one, is curious about nothing. You can't surprise her. She doesn't notice the humiliations, though they happen to her every day. It all rolls off her back like some waterproof material. Zero ambition. No moral code. Not even a whore's love of money.
