- AnecdotesWhen the cultured but assumedly heterosexual dress designer happens to employ the French phrase "mise en scene" to "set the scene" for his testimony, Sgt. Panto, who just assumes all designers and hairdressers are automatically gay [he's previously insinuated that the couturier wears his own wares, and later professes the belief that the guy's a "fag"], on a hunch it must be something subversive and immoral, mimics back "mise en shame", so as to indicate that he knows it's pervy code for a proposition to commit some sort of disgusting same-sex act.

Dressmaker: Our work requires a certain "mise en scene." ... Do you understand Sergeant?
Sgt. Pantò: Well,,, I try ... So I wanted to ask you if you ever dressed as a woman?
Dressmaker: Me, dress as a woman? Why would I?
[Panto stutters, trying to avoid an indelicate or explicit response]
Dressmaker: Mise en scene?
Sgt. Pantò: [cutting him off, relieved he didn't have to say it first] "Mise en shame!" Exactly!
Yep, the killer has black gloves and an open razor, the victims are young and often naked ladies, and there's loads and loads of nudity to keep you awake between the interminable police investigation scenes. The main focus seems to be mainly on John Richardson the policeman and his sidekick, who suspiciously is played by director/actor Gaetano. There's also a keen rookie cop and his girlfriend that clog up the investigation side of things too, and bulk out the plot.
As usual a photograph is a main plot point, there's a few effective stalking scenes, but even the rampant nudity couldn't really carry this one all the way through. They didn't give Giacomo Rossi-Stuart enough screen time either.
