Nora is a young woman on vacation for the first time alone. She arrives in Rome to stay with her aunt, who is very ill. During her first night in Rome, Nora’s aunt dies, and a horrified Nora rushes out of the house to find help. The poor girl is mugged and while she fights for consciousness, she witnesses a murder on the plaza below. No one believes her, but a strange man seems to be following her everywhere. She moves into a flat on the plaza, the house of a new friend, and while house-sitting she finds information on the murder she witness, a killing by the serial killer of the Alphabet Murders. Will Nora solve the murder and figure out what she saw? Will the killer come after her? Will she be safe, and who can she trust?
Brava’s story here isn’t his masterpiece, but the film is well-shot with some beautiful parts of Rome pictured. There is even some light comedy here, i.e., the sometimes silly behavior of Nora trying to protect herself. I just loved the little traps she set. I wouldn’t say this is a must see for everyone, but if you like a nice, a little bit old-fashioned but beautifully shot mystery, check it out.
Rating: 4 Purrs for string!
