cold eyes of fear (1971)

AKA Gli occhi freddi della paura. Desperate Moments. Los fríos ojos del miedo.
"I'll kill you."

Peter (Gianni Garko), a solicitor, has brought Anna (Giovanna Ralli) to his uncle's house, only to find Quill (Julian Mateos), and a dead body waiting for them. Quill takes them hostage, but its not them he's after but Peter's corrupt uncle Judge Flower (Fernando Rey). But what is he after?
The tension ramps up when policeman Arthur Welt (Frank Wolff) turns up with some papers from the Judge.
The action is slow in coming as the main participants argue, threaten and cajole each other, but it develops into a tense hostage thriller, rather than a straight up Giallo, where no-one is what they seem.
