Synopsis
The Strange Vice of Mrs Wardh (Lo strano vizio della Signora Wardh, 1971) is a Sergio Martino giallo you can watch online on iFILM. A razor-wielding killer stalks Vienna, and diplomat's wife Julie Wardh starts to suspect the murderer is one of the men in her life.
Young women keep turning up dead, and Julie (Edwige Fenech) has every reason to be afraid. Her ex-lover Jean, with his taste for cruelty, is back in town and wants her back. Meanwhile the charming George keeps circling. Her husband is always traveling. Martino keeps the question of who holds the razor open until the very end, scattering red herrings and stylish set-piece killings along the way.
It's a template-setting early-seventies giallo: black gloves, gleaming blades, paranoia and a jittery jazz score. Roles like this made Edwige Fenech the face of the genre. If Argento and Bava are your thing, this is the same turf, only nastier. Stream The Strange Vice of Mrs Wardh (1971) online on iFILM.
