Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe first line of the title track "You" states "You represent everything I detest in a man." and then goes on to individually catalog these detestable qualities, pretty much summed up in the character Maurice. Appropriate then, that he should choose to put on the record as soon as he arrives at the hunting lodge, plotting Helen's death.
- GoofsWhen Helen finds the missing washer for her engine in Maurice's breast pocket, there is no explanation, other than maybe x-ray vision, that she should know it was there, particularly as Maurice would have been unlikely to fool around with her engine in a dress suit.
- Quotes
Lily Harmer: You represent everything I detest in a man.
- Crazy creditsThe opening credits are shown against a background of scenes from the movie, but in negative form.
- Alternate versionsThere are two versions available. Running times are: "1h 34m(94 min)" and "1h 28m(88 min) (Spain)".

Featured review
Very much of the period this has the music, fads, colours and morals of the time.
Titled on my Blu ray as Paranoia, this is also known as A Quite Place to Kill which might be the better option as there is another Lenzi film made the previous year and also known as Paranoia. Thankfully, Umberto Lenzi himself is on hand on the disc to clarify the similarities and differences as well as how this ridiculous situation came about. Anyway the previous year's film, also with Carroll Baker is fine but this is probably even better. More original and more exciting, this is a crazy, colourful and involving gialloesque mystery involving fantastic clothing and furnishings, cars and telephones and lots of Carroll baker. She was nearly 40 when she made this but still strips down to order and looks great. Jean Sorell is as reliable as ever and always seems to give that look and twinkle those eyes as if to indicate love and hate at the same time. Marina Coffa appears around the halfway mark and really stirs things up. Apparently back in the day audiences would stand and applause, so stunned and delighted at the final denouement although she did very little after this for whatever reason. Very much of the period this has the music, fads, colours and morals of the time.
