La Polizia Chiede Aiuto (aka What Have They Done To Your Daughters) (1974)

A teenage girl is found hanging in a privately rented attic, pregnant and violated. The police inspector (Claudio Cassinelli) and the assistant District Attorney (Giovanna Ralli) assigned to the case slowly discover what they thought was a suicide escalates into a horrifying case of a pedophile ring of underage prostitutes that reaches into the highest echelon of Italian society and a political cover up by the Italian government. Directed by Massimo Dallamano (WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO SOLANGE?). Who would have thought that a 1974 Italian giallo (some may call it a poliziotteschi, a police procedural) would have political ramifications of 2025 America? Graphic in its bloodletting and exploitative in its nudity, nonetheless this is a disturbing but intensely effective genre piece. The highlight of the movie is a relentless but superbly done chase between the police and a serial killer on a motorcycle. If you're fan of gialli, you really should seek this one out. With Farley Granger, Marina Berti, Mario Adorf and Franco Fabrizi.
