the iguana with the tongue of fire (1971)

aka L'iguana dalla lingua di fuoco.
"Remember we are professional liers."
The Swiss Ambassador Sobiesky (Anton Diffring) is found with the body of his lover in his car. He initially co-operates, but when there is a second murder he invokes his diplomatic immunity. Meanwhile ex-cop John Norton (Luigi Pistilli) gets involved when he starts having an affair with the Ambassador's step-daughter, Helen (Dagmar Lassander), but, the brutal killings continue..
Cryptic murders, beautiful and mysterious women, and a quirky detective; this has all the attributes of a classic Giallo, but something just doesn't click.
