This was actually one of my first gialli, as I had the swedish ex-rental VHS as well as Luminous DVD-R of the greek VHS.
Both very zoomed in Pan/Scan versions with English dialogue. Both also cut! Back then your reference on available versions was the overappreciated (not least because it has so many factual faults, even considering actors being dead or alive) giallo-lexicon "Blood and black lace". It did not mention that these versions were cut, and for about 20 years I have judged this movie as one of the least important films of the genre. Almost 20 years later I see in on a restored and uncut dvd, in full widescreen glory and beautiful cinematography. Also to see it uncut, with a flashback beginning of the film which is crucial for the killer's motive is like seeing a much more reasonable film to begin with. I had to change my rating from a 4 to a 6 very close to a 7. These quality DVD and Bluray restorations give justice to these old films. I am glad I got to see this film how it was intended.
