In many ways, as both its plot and title indicate, Luciano Ercoli's jazzy 1970 directorial debut, The Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion, is merely highly stylized pastiche.

The plot is arguably nothing remarkable, and the denouement might not work for you, but overall this is an excellent example of how the Italian industry could marry entertainment with art.

Entertaining and well done overall. One of the better Ercoli films. Spoilers, need a bit more fleshing out of the motivations of the husband, its murder for insurance is a bit contrived, though i can imagine it was somewhat new at that time. But overall I liked it.

Just has enough about it. 'The Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion' includes good performances from Dagmar Lassander, Pier Paolo Capponi, Simón Andreu and Nieves Navarro. It's also paced well enough, despite a few slower moments, and has a solid ending. The film is also short at around 90mins and features a neat score from a certain Ennio Morricone.
