L’uomo Senza Memoria (aka Puzzle) (1974)

Stranded in London for eight months after an auto accident that left him with amnesia, a man (Luc Merenda) discovers he has a wife (Senta Berger) in Italy. He travels to Portofino where she lives in the hope she can help him piece together who he was before his accident. But he and his wife's lives are threatened unless they turn over something worth a million dollars. The only problem is ... he can't remember. Directed by Duccio Tessari (co-writer of A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS), the film is usually referred to as a giallo but I'd call it a mystery thriller with giallo elements. There is a graphic killing with a chainsaw and some knife slashings at the end but up until then, outside of a dog's murder there isn't much violence. I enjoyed it well enough because of the mystery aspect of the plot but it isn't memorable and it lacks the style and mood that an Argento or Bava would have brought. With Anita Strindberg, Umberto Orsini and Duilio Cruciani.
