Widescreen. In Italian with English subtitles. This film is also known as
The Lipstick.
A prostitute is robbed and murdered. A fourteen-year-old girl (Laura Vivaldi) sees a suave gigolo come out of the hotel where the murder occurred. She has a schoolgirl crush on the handsome man, though, so instead of reporting the crime, she befriends him. Only after he takes her out for a drive, kisses her, and the nearly brains her with a glass bottle, does she go to the police. But they don't believe her because, among other things, she wears lipstick. An early neo-realist social drama by criminally underrated Italian director
Damiano Damiani. Also stars
Pietro Germi as the police investigator.
