The Fifth Cord

The Fifth Cord (1971) — watch online on iFILM: an Italian giallo thriller directed by Luigi Bazzoni, starring Franco Nero.

Journalist Andrea Bild (Nero) is at a party the night someone attacks a guest. He sees the assailant but can't describe the face. Then the people who were there that night start dying — each victim found with a black glove nearby, one more finger cut off each time. The police have Bild on their list: he knew every victim, his drinking is well documented, and his marriage is loud and ugly. He has to solve it before the count reaches five — and before someone decides he's not just a witness.
