(Yeah, I know. A soundtrack cover, but I couldn't find a cover or poster for the film itself.)

SYNOPSIS
Very minor spoilers. Surgeon Roberto (Hilton) is married to Elena (Luciana Paluzzi), the owner of the clinic at which he works. The principal surgeon there, Michaeli (Luis Davila), is thinking of leaving - a prospect that is exacerbating her heart problem no end. One of the reasons for his departure is the fact that his girlfriend Paola (Anita Strindberg) is still in love with Roberto, with whom she had an affair some years previously. Given this torrid state of emotional affairs and that this is, after all, a giallo, it is of no surprise when he manages to get himself shot.
Enter Fernando Rey, a detective who seems more interested in resisting the temptation of the cigarettes that he has just given up than actually carrying out any investigations. His colleagues find a home movie in which all the principal characters prance around holding pistols, while chintzy Franco Micalizzi music plays.
Elena, meanwhile, is growing suspicious of her husband. This is only fair, because he is growing suspicious of her. Fernando takes a different tack. He grows suspicious of the previously irrelevant clinic administrator Luisi (Eduardo Fajardo). Then again, his goofy sidekick thinks that the solution to the mystery lies with a mute parrot. When Paola receives a large insurance cheque absolutely everyone grows suspicious of her…

MY NOTES
An obscure and rare Spanish/Italian co-production with an all-star giallo cast: George Hilton, Fernando Rey, Luciana Paluzzi and Anita Strindberg deliver the goods. Definitely not as sleazy or gory as you'd expect, this giallo runs more like a traditional whodunit thriller. Luckily the cinematic flair we've accustomed to see in most gialli is there, and the story has its twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat. The surgery scenes are exceptionally well-shot combining real footage and footage with the actors. This is the hospital giallo you were craving for.
