- Quotes
Lucia: Eddie? A fairy! I'll be damned!
Nora Tosatti: Often I can't tell, but I caught on to him soon. You know what? I noticed he was a bit impressed with your Frank.
Lucia: Ma no! And Frank was jealous of me!
Nora Tosatti: Anyway, I wanted to help him. Besides, they're usually nice and tidy, worse than women are.
- ConnectionsReferenced in Videoman (2018)
The Moroccan locale that makes up the first part of the movie is beautifully shot, and director Guerrieri delights in overlapping his beautiful scenes with a catchy score from Armando Trovajoli. The film doesn't include a lot of tension or suspense, but The Double does manage to retain the viewer's interest by way of the characters' motivations. The film bathes in the glow of the people in the story, and this is one of the movie' strongest elements. The Double is brought to life by Jean Sorel, who takes the lead role. While his character is something of an interloper between the others in the plot, Sorel does well with what he has. Lucia Bosé and Ewa Aulin are both good as the female leads, and the director delights in capturing as much of their flesh as possible. The fact that the movie doesn't feature the stylish murders or exciting chase sequences that have made the sub-genre famous will leave some disappointed; and I've got to say that's true for me. Films such as The Forbidden Photos of a Lady above Suspicion have proved that sex and characters can carry a Giallo, but this one doesn't quite manage it. However; The Double is an interesting film and one that fans of Giallo will not want to miss.
