Isabella had found out that Morlacchi had been involved in the crime, and began blackmailing him. [37] As the characters deaths rise through the film, the orchestration of the score scales down.

When Isabella's boyfriend is suspected of the killing, her diary, which apparently has some incriminating evidence linking her to the killer, disappears, the masked killer begins killing off all the models in and around the house to find the diary. Bava's biographer Tim Lucas described The Girl Who Knew Too Much as being tongue-in-cheek tribute to the giallo stories and their readership and "Telephone" felt was actually in the giallo style but in short form. The killings are highly disturbing in their savagery -- strangling, gouging, drowning, and a torturous scalding among them"[45] In the book The Definitive Guide to Horror Movies, James Marriott described the film as "fascinating and flamboyantly stylish" as well as find the scenes of eroticized violence to be disturbing.

Suddenly, a bloody and bruised Cristiana enters the room, shakily holding a gun aimed directly at Morlacchi. Even though Cameron Mitchell is the only "name" here, everyone does a very good job in their roles. It's easy to watch this film and see how it would influence the likes of all Italian mysteries going forward and especially those of Dario Argento. [6][9][10] The term giallo is used in Italy to describe all mystery and thriller fiction, English critics used them to describe more specific films within the genre, involving a murder mystery that revels in the details of the murder rather than the deduction of it or police procedural elements.

The year before Bava had directed The Girl Who Knew Too Much; a film that has also been credited as one of the first gialli, but plays out more in line with a traditional approach to the thriller than seen here in Blood and Black Lace. The killer tortures her, demanding to know where the diary is. The death scenes are quite poetic in their own right and there's no doubt that the mystery keeps you guessing right up to the end. [22] Cameron Mitchell, a regular actor for Bava, had remained in touch with Bava since their last project. These credits continue into the screenwriting credits, where different sources and ministerial papers suggest different authors credited to developing the story of the film. It was only later that Morlacchi and Cristiana realized she had been keeping a diary that revealed everything. Cristiana prepares to leave the victim's apartment when she is interrupted by a knocking sound on the front door followed by the loud voice of a man identifying himself as the police.
