The Police Are Blundering in the Dark	comment	The Police Are Blundering in the Dark is a 1975 giallo film. For writer and director Helia Colombo, and for a majority of the cast, it is their only known film credit.When his female friend Enrichetta becomes the latest in a series of beautiful women to disappear from the countryside near Rome, journalist Giorgio Dâ€™Amato investigates. He finds a connection to the villa of Edmondo Parrisi, a wheelchair-using photographer for whom Enrichetta modeled on the night she disappeared. Further investigation reveals that the villaâ€™s inhabitants and guests conceal a host of secrets - the most surprising of which is Edmondoâ€™s invention of a device that photographs human thoughts.

The Police Are Blundering in the Dark / int_114d3902	comment	After-Action Villain Analysis: After the killer is stopped, his history is explained: He was a brilliant surgeon whose life turned upside-down when he suffered an attack of mental illness during an operation on his wife, which killed her. As a result, he changed his name and moved elsewhere to start a new life. How this might relate to his pattern of killings, however, is not explained at all.

The Police Are Blundering in the Dark / int_4aaffbd5	comment	I Never Said It Was Poison: When Edmondo confronts the killer, the killer actually turns the accusation around, purporting to believe that the accuser is actually the one whose psychosis drove them to murder. However, which of them is the true killer becomes clear: they know what happened to the bodies, which no one except the killer does.
