Tuesday, Nov. 15 - Death Will Have Your Eyes

Death Will Have Your Eyes (1974) La moglie giovane (original title)

Louisa is a young and attractive woman who wants to make a living for herself in Rome, but soon falls prey to some very shady characters that force her into prostitution. (No they don't, you idiot! Did you even watch this movie?)

Louisa (Marisa Mell) is a young and attractive woman who wants to make a living for herself in Rome, but soon falls prey to some very shady characters that force her into prostitution. (No, no! She goes to work at a hotel switchboard, for crissakes! Don't you know the difference?)

While struggling to keep herself afloat, she meets a fascinating (he's wealthy, she's really not all that fascinated, in truth) doctor (Farley Granger) who is also a would-be poet. However, Louisa doesn't really love him, and falls for another man. When she gets involved in a murder, blackmail and violence ensue until the shocking final revelation. (Gets involved is one way of putting it! She murders her husband might be a better way. And the shocking revelation actually comes at the beginning of the film. The rest is flashback.)

Hey, am I the only person out here who thinks a person should actually watch a movie before they write a synopsis of it?
