As I begin to delve deeper into the filmography of the lovely and talented Barbara Bouchet I learn more regarding the terminology of what I've simply been referring to as Italian thrillers. While that is technically a true description, these films actually have their only unique term known as "giallo". For the longest time I thought giallo was simply the name of the producer or director of most of these Italian thrillers (excuse my ignorance) but giallo is simply a term to describe this genre of film which were derived from Italian pulp fiction literature, and as films are characterized by liberal amounts of murder, stylish camera work, interesting musical scores and lots of lovely ladies.
