DEATH WALKS ON HIGH HEELS (1971)
ARROW BLU RAY SPECIAL EDITION
LIKE NEW
REGION B
Although less celebrated than some of his better known giallo
peers such as Dario Argento, Mario Bava and Sergio Martino, late
producer-turned-director Luciano Ercoli contributed three hugely entertaining
and memorable entries to the genre – including this, his 1971 sophomore effort,
Death Walks on High Heels
Spanish-born
model and actress Nieves Navarro stars as Nicole, an exotic dancer who finds
herself terrorized by a black-clad assailant determined on procuring her
murdered father's stolen gems. Fleeing Paris in hopes of evading her
knife-wielding pursuer, Nicole arrives in England only to discover that death
stalks her at every corner
With
the scene-stealing Navarro at its center, Death Walks on High Heels manages to
subvert the conventions of the giallo film by having a ballsy, well-rounded
female protagonist to root for – representing a welcome departure from the
neurotic stereotypes found elsewhere within the genre
