The Two Faces of Fear

And 1972 would be another busy year for the actor.

He also starred in The Two Faces of Fear, The Case of the Bloody Iris, the comedy western, The West is Close to You, Man, Hallelujah Has Arrived, and you thought Jallo had long titles, and he also reunited with Martino and Fennec for All the Colours of the Dark.

It's fair to say, though, that in this film, his character Richard isn't the deepest or the most complex of the roles that he's played across the course of his career.

In fact, for much of the movie, he is very much just a red herring, doping Jane up with bright blue pills and disappearing on suspicious business trips.

Yes.

So our planned comeback episode all those years ago was going to be Two Faces of Fear, Duccio Tessari's 1972 Giallo with Anita Strindberg and George Hilton.

And when I went back to check my notes for it, there wasn't much there beyond a note about a parrot's prostate, [laughs] so we pivoted to another George Hilton title first, one that covers some of the theme- same thematic ground sans the parrot or indeed its prostate.

[laughs] We'll get to Two Faces of Fear eventually, but today we're talking about Rovello Giereri's The Sweet Body of Deborah.

[gentle music] Now, this is a title we've both been keen to cover for a while, and I'd say you're the bigger champion of it, Peter.

You wrote a really excellent piece on it yourself years ago now.
