The Fifth Cord does not get the respect it deserves among the all time great Giallo films. It's directed quite well with some very beautiful cinematography as all good Giallo's should have.
The acting is of course not the greatest in the world and it takes some time to begin to like(or dislike the characters)
There are some excellent kills in it as all Giallo's must have. The soundtrack is a bit goofy but isn't that part of what gives these particular movies their appeal.
In a nutshell no The Fifth Cord is not the best Giallo you will ever see and is not even director Luigi Bazzoni's best although he does have a short career I still think if you give it a chance and are a fan of the genre you will agree it is actually a fairly good movie.
Sit back and take a watch you won't be disappointed.
