Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaUmberto Lenzi wanted to make a hippie road movie in the vein of Easy Rider (1969), but producer Carlo Ponti insisted the film be a more typical "giallo", even suggesting the casting of Carroll Baker. Ponti forced Lenzi to change the main characters from drug dealers to pornographers.
- GoofsThe Italian headline of the newspaper article on Dick and Ingrid's escape translates as "Police Search for 2 Young Germans", but Dick has already been identified by the police as British in a previous scene.
- Quotes
Dick Butler: [to Barbara, throwing down the money she left him, assumedly as a gift for "services rendered" during illicit sex the night before] You petty little middle class bitch! Here, this belongs to you! At first I thought you'd taken me for a whore.
- Crazy creditsEnd titles contain a rare credit for a stand-in: Antonia Santilli for both principal females.

Featured review
Never trust a stranger
Danish student Ingrid (Ornella Muti) and her English boyfriend Dick (Ray Lovelock) decide to sell pornography illegally in Italy, and at the beginning, they make a lot of money and spend a great holiday time there. Then they are arrested by the police, and their rebellious attitude (especially if you remember, this was 1970) doesn't help much. They end up on the street without a Lira in their pockets, and when a rich lady (Irene Papas) offers help, it seems a stroke of luck and they are not suspicious at all...
La bella Ornella in one of her earliest movies is very playful and looks best in a kind of Indian temple dancer costume here. All in all, "Un posto ideale per uccidere" is not a particularly dark or violent film, but with enough suspense. The rapid cut by Eugenio Alabiso - who also had his hands on genre classics like "Tutti i colori del buio" and "Lo strano vizio della Signora Wardh" - helps to speed it up a bit. Note: My Italian DVD is said to be transferred from the original negative with a running time of 83:49 min.
