Based on a true story.

Two seemingly separate stories in New South Wales: a burned, murdered body of a young woman is found on the beach, and a retired inspector makes inquiries; also, Linda, a waitress and ferry attendant, has several lovers and marries one, but continues seeing the others. The police have a suspect in the murder, but the retired inspector is convinced they're wrong; he continues a methodical investigation. Linda and her husband separate, and there are complications. Will the stories cross or are they already twisted together?

Has some interesting elements with how they weave the investigative side and showing how the victim came to be. Performances were okay and nice seeing Ray Milland in there, whom I recognize from 1945's The Lost Weekend. Here he pretty much plays a cranky old man, volunteering to investigate a woman's murder. However, with the good there's also the bizarre, namely the police encasing the victim (nude), who has been burned, and allowing the public to parade through in the hopes someone will recognize her. Why they couldn't take some pictures and publish them in the paper is beyond me. As a whole, was okay but like The Possessed, it's part of a "Giallo Essentials" set and IMO doesn't fit that subset of crime-drama. 3.0/5
