Directed by Massimo Dallamano • 1974 • Italy
Starring Claudio Cassinelli, Giovanna Ralli, Farley Granger
In 1972, director Massimo Dallamano broke new ground in the giallo genre with the harrowing WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO SOLANGE? only to follow it up with this even darker quasi-sequel. A teenage girl is found hanging from the rafters of a privately rented attic, pregnant, and violated. Hotheaded Inspector Silvestri (Claudio Cassinelli) and rookie Assistant District Attorney Vittoria Stori (Giovanna Ralli) are assigned to the case, the scope of which grows substantially when they discover that the dead girl was part of a ring of underage sex workers whose abusers occupy the highest echelons of Italian society. Meanwhile, a cleaver-wielding, motorcycle-riding killer roars through the streets of Brescia, determined to ensure that those involved take their secret to the grave. Featuring an insanely catchy score by Stelvio Cipriani, WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOUR DAUGHTERS? is a fast-paced, brutal, and unforgettable thriller from a director at the peak of his creative powers.
