A triangle of friendship, love, sex, and, perhaps, murder. Minou is newly married to Peter, a businessman in debt as he works to bring a new product to market. They met through Dominique, sexually voracious, Minou's best friend, and Peter's former (and possibly still) lover. A stranger accosts Minou one night on the beach while Peter is away. He tells her that Peter has murdered a business associate and blackmails her into sleeping with him. He compounds the blackmail with photos taken of their tryst. To Minou's surprise, this same stranger is in a pornographic photo Dominique has imported from Denmark. Is this all a game, and if so, who's behind it?

| StarburstJames EvansThe 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. |
| User ReviewWilliam Bwhat it lacks in gore, Forbidden Photos more than makes up for in sexual intrigue, its feisty script and glossy cinematography, and above all, Dagmar Lassander's array of cripplingly beautiful outfits and sezzy looks |
| User ReviewFrazer CThe lighting for this film was splendid personally as were the shots. Not lurid, not sexual and few murders, the thrill was very smoky, it is best watched when high, not meant to be attentive, that's personally why I like it, the plot is complex but it doesn't distract or irritate you. |
| User ReviewTasos LThis film really brings all of the Giallo tropes to the forefront and makes amazing use of them, front the gorgeous Euro-babes to the sleazy killer and amazing locales, this film has it all. Luciano Ercoli is a great director and of the four films I've seen from him, none have let me down. Great film, great soundtrack, well worth a look if you have the opportunity. Recommended. |
| User ReviewBill MA stylish and sleazy giallo with a decent twist ending. |
| User ReviewPrivate UDette er ikke Ercoli`s beste film, men et godt utgangspunkt for hva som skulle komme etter denne. Nydelig visuelt, men ender opp som en litt rotete blanding av "Death Walks At Midnight" og "Death Walks In High Heels". |
| User ReviewChristopher SSolid and stylish giallo thriller. Not really among the best, but fans of the genre will find plenty to appreciate. Nice score by Ennio Morricone. |
| User ReviewEric RDecent giallo but not as violent as most of the other flicks made around that time. Excellent soundtrack and a good little mystery. |
| User ReviewLacuna PDecent giallo flick that is well directed and follows in the line of films like The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh in that it examines the nature of fidelity and perversion. Nice surprise at the end to that I, at least, didn't see coming. |
