Blood and Black Lace (1964)
6/10

With an inquisitive Inspector on the case of a murdered fashion model, the deceased's fashion colleagues are most anxious about the diary she left behind.



As you can see in the film photo clip, cinematography school is in session for Mario Bava's Blood and Black Lace. Magenta, aquamarine and red lighting gels stage depthful composition shots. (Reminds me to the rich color palettes used for the sets on the Star Trek Original TV Series.) And the flourishing sets, costumes and camera movements are not far behind. But lagging far behind the cinematography are the shallow characters, the unfluffed plot, and most of all, there's lack of genuine mystery and suspense.
