| Wednesday July 14 10:23:58 2004 Il cartaio - aka The card dealer |
| Entry 9648.
I don't know who made this entry, but it's all wrong. Four girls are gagged and none of them is Stefania Rocca. She is uncuffed at the end of the movie, nothing else. The card dealer is a serial killer who kidnaps girls and then challenge the police in a poker game. If the police loses the girls are killed. The girls are shown on a computer monitor, just on the left of the cards (you know those computer poker games...) and we can't see anything but their faces gagged with trasparent tape. The first victim is an english tourist (played by Jennifer Poli): she is killed at the end of the game (but we only imagine it); the second victim is Elisabetta Rocchetti: her fate is the same, the only difference is that we see her abduction by chloroform. The third victim (Vera Gemma, do you remember her in "Scarlet Diva"?) gives us the best scene. During the game she manages to free her hands, so we can see they are tied separately to the armrests of a dentist chair (or something similar). We see the scene half on the computer monitor and half "live"; she manages to take off her gag (the usual tape, but it seems like a rubber tube underneath the tape) and tries to escape; the killer catches her and kill her in front of the whole police. The fourth victim is the daughter of the police chief (Fiore Argento: the director seems to enjoy himself a lot binding and gagging his daughters) who we can see the same way as the first two victim; but she doesn't meet an unhappy end, because the police wins the match and she's freed. At the end of the movie the killer manages to capture Stefania Rocca, the policewoman who's hunting him. He handcuffs her to the train tracks, near to him and they start a poker match waiting for the train... You can guess who's the winner. Hope I've been clear. |

Title: Grandeur et Misère des Courtisanes Medium: Movie Serial Actress: Uncredited Description: As the episode begins... "This entry under investigation by the Editing Team, be advised that this may be erroneous and subject to future deletion." According to IMDb, it's a French movie directed by Maurice Cazeneuve (1975) inspired by a tome of "La Comédie Humaine" by Balzac. That nearly 9-hour saga appears to have been broadcasted in six parts ("époques" as they say in French). Balzac himself first issued the last chapters of "Grandeur et Misères..." as a serial in newspapers. As far as I remeber, in the book, Vautrin the villain, under the name of priest Herrera, is about to be unmasked so he orders Lydie, the daughter of detective Peyrade, to be kidnapped to force Peyrade to stop investigating. Then, if Cazeneuve was faithful to Balzac's story, I assume "the" episode could be the 5th one. Does it help? |
