I tried watching this movie several times before giving up & cutting it off.For some reason I decided to give it 1 final go.Instead of cutting it off after 20+ minutes, I made it to 40+ minutes & then cut it off.I don't understand why I decided to give it another chance when I should've just left it off in the 1st place.I tried sitting through it but after awhile I just could not do it anymore.I no longer cared about why Julie is being stalked by a bunch of criminals, the stolen diamonds or whatever else happened.All of a sudden it hit me, I could be watching something else.Why am I torturing myself?! I can't believe I made it as long as I did especially being able to watch it the entire time I did with my eyes open.If you like movies that will bore you out of your mind then watch Devil With Seven Faces (Is it Devil With Seven Faces or Devil Has Seven Faces? Different sites, different names.Either way I guess it doesn't matter.This movie SUCKED!!!) If you can sit through the entire movie without falling asleep or turning it off, you have my respect

A lousy Italian made thriller starring Carroll Baker & Stephen Boyd. Baker is a neurotic career girl (it's never clear what it is that she does for a living) being stalked by a bunch of hoods looking for a diamond her twin sister may or may not have stolen. Boyd is her lawyer. George Hilton is Baker's lover who becomes her pursuer. A hopelessly confusing and very long 90 minute crime film from director Osvaldo Civirani. Shot in Italy & Holland, the film has no sense of any place at all. There are exactly zero thrills. This still-born dreck was just one of many films Baker made in Italy during the late '60/early '70s. The meaning of the title remains a mystery.

...but I loved the film. Reading other viewers comments, may I point out that Stephen Boyd and Charlton Heston's chariot race occurred in 'Ben Hur' NOT 'The Ten Commandments'! I prefer Boyd's work in modern day set films, and this performance rates among his best. Same goes for Carroll Baker, always underrated. I have a soft spot for Lucretia Love. I'll watch anything she's in. Also, some sterling work from Daniele Vargas, as usual, and the guy who played the inspector, Franco Ressel. My copy of the film was on a 50 movie pack called 'Drive In Movie Classics' an absolute bargain with a lot of 'classic' films (of their type), highly recommended right across the board.

It could perhaps be argued that "The Devil With Seven Faces" shouldn't even be categorized as a giallo, but even though the gore is largely missing (most of the killings are simple shootings), many of the other typical characteristics of the genre are here: the colorful title, the convoluted, twisty and often nonsensical plot (one bit with an apparently dead old lady whose body disappears makes no sense at all!), the music, the European locations, the general "feel", and George Hilton as a charming/shady character. Carroll Baker is several cuts above the average giallo heroine (and boy does she have GREAT LEGS), but on the whole this film is merely passable. Still, those who enjoy the genre and have learned to accept its flaws should probably check this one out. (**)
