'The Girl Who Knew Too Much' (1963) - Mario Bava.

Famed Giallo innovator, and renowned movie magician, Mario Bava has an enviably inventive filmmaking talent, having a singular genius for creating uncommonly sublime cinematic art from all types of genre, Bava's considerable flair for darkly humorous, visually intriguing thrillers is well represented in his refined, fiendishly clever, deliciously quirky 60s murder mystery, 'The Girl Who Knew Too Much, while frequently imitated, is rarely surpassed, as Mario Bava's immaculately photographed, devilishly intriguing thriller unspools its wickedly warped web of intrigue, its ageless allure proves impossible to resist!       

Not long after pretty blonde, Nora Davis (Leticia Roman) arrives in Rome when our beguilingly ingenuous heroine is sinisterly beset by a series of increasingly eerie events, thereby plunging sweet Nora into a murky maelstrom of murder, madness, and Hitchcockian misdirection, beautifully acted by Leticia, and John Saxon as her handsome beau, the good doctor Marcello Bassi, but, as always, the true star of 'The Girl Who Knew Too Much' is the exquisitely stylish, boldly unconventional, uncommonly witty Mise-en-scène of Maestro Mario Bava! The polar opposite of a slow-burner, since the game is very much afoot even before Nora has exited the plane! With its labyrinthine plot, dazzling camera work, entrancing Roman vistas, and hallucinatory atmosphere, Bava's mesmerizing monochrome masterpiece remains a timeless Giallo classic that still inspires fans and filmmakers alike!
