Autopsy

“It'll take you... apart!”

A heatwave bears down on Rome, and the city's run of apparent suicides is blamed on the weather. Simona Sanna (Mimsy Farmer), a young pathologist writing a thesis on murders staged as suicides, doesn't buy it, and she teams up with Father Paul Lenox (Barry Primus) to prove his sister was killed. Armando Crispino stages the morgue scenes in clinical, unflinching detail, which is what the film became known for.
