Later, in Venice, the young daughter of Franco (George Lazenby), a popular sculptor, is stalked by a woman in a black veil. Finally, after several near-chances, the girl is grabbed, only to be found later floating in a canal. The police are as arrogant as they are stumped, so Franco, accompanied by his estranged wife, Elizabeth (Anita Strindberg), investigates. As Franco begins uncovering clues, the people he talks to about the case begin to die gruesome deaths. ~ Buzz McClain, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Jason Best, Movie Talk
Undeniably dated, even cheesy in parts ... what makes [Who Saw Her Die?] well worth watching is ... Lado's gliding camera and Ennio Morricone's magnificently eerie score.

Very well-crafted giallo is an obvious precursor to Nicolas Roeg's ingenious and similarly Venetian-set "Don't Look Now". The score was amazing; The locations were beautiful, though not as gory as other in its genre but It was suspenseful at times and another times very disturbing, specially the opening kill. One of the better giallo movies!!!
