Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key

One year later and no fix? And other releases don’t have this problem? It can’t be rocket science to do this... Why no option to turn off the closed captioning for sound effects? Can the dialogue subtitles be separated from the sound effect captioning at all? I have to read "music playing" when the music is playing? No option?

All Gialli films by Martino were good, but this movie is one of his best (up there with Case of the Scoripion's Tail). Edwige Fenech is in fine form, the operatic violence and senual Italian hanky-panky keep things paced nicely, and the story just keeps making unexpected turns. Martino is no Argento, but the kinetic camerawork and the non-stop focus on style makes this a fabulous Giallo.

Your Vice…is an interesting film that does not quite fit the standard giallo bill as you might have expected simply by glancing at the cast gathered by Sergio Martino. It is more of a crossover mix combining little bits of slasher-horror, gothic-mystery, and of course the mandatory erotica. In fact Your Vice…marks an interesting change in Edwige Fenech's career as a genre diva. Neither Tutti I colori del buio a.k.a All the Colors of the Dark (1972) nor Le Calde notti di Don Giovanni (1971) nor any of her previous efforts show Edwige Fenech as the merciless villain and dangerous seductress she transforms into while playing the role of Floriana in Your Vice… Also, this is the film that marks her first homosexual scene with Swedish star Anita Strindberg and not surprisingly Your Vice...scored big among Fenech aficionados. But wait, there is more... This is without a doubt one of the most provocative films Edwige Fenech has ever made and her performance as the seductive Floriana is simply astonishing. The elegant manner in which she enters the film from the moment we first see her at the lavish Italian villa quickly suggests that she will be involved in some sort of a seductive role. The provocative mini-skirt she wears, a new and sexy hair cut that certainly suggest class, and the innocent marquee Fenech-look that would melt the heart of any hot-blooded male quickly transform Your Vice…into a unique film. The biggest asset Sergio Martino's film boasts however is the splendid camera work. It is absolutely amazing to see how mature this film looks considering that many of the gialli that were filmed during the 70s simply had, well let's face it, a rather amateurish look. Your Vice…is a film that certainly defies such description. Sergio Martino delivers a stylish, at times even bizarre camera moves (take for example the one-eyed black cat shots that cut in unexpectedly) that would certainly satisfy even the most demanding fans of the Italian director. In addition the creepy tunes of Bruno Nicolai provide the perfect atmosphere for a film that in my opinion ranks as one of the best that were shot in Italy during the turbulent 70’s.
