The Pyjama Girl Case (1977)

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?

Though this is indeed an Italian production and a murder mystery – there is very little here that could be viewed as classic giallo. “The Pyjama Girl Case,” very loosely based upon a true incident, begins with the discovery of a badly burned body of a young woman on an Australian beach. Elderly Inspector Thompson (Ray Milland) comes out of retirement to aid in the case - which has the local officials baffled. The only evidence that might help identify the victim is the yellow pajamas she was wearing. As Thompson investigates the murder, scenes of the young woman’s life leading up to the tragedy unfold. It seems that the girl in the yellow pajamas was one troubled soul. Glenda (the beautiful Dalila Di Lazzaro), the title girl, is having an affair with a rich, married doctor (Mel Ferrer). She’s also intimately involved with a couple of best friends, one of whom, Antonio (Michele Placido), she ends up marrying. Glenda proves to be a restless and undependable wife and ends up cheating on Antonio. As her inauspicious drama unfolds, Inspector Thompson and his fellow “Australian” detectives run through one red herring after another. Often strong-arming several poor individuals who had nothing to do with murder. The crackerjack police force, with no strong leads in the case, even resort to showcasing pyjama girl’s dead body in an art museum hoping someone will come forward with information.



The real story of the 1934 murder, a famous case in Australia that for years went unsolved, is a fascinating tale filled with conspiracy and strange drama.
Writer/director Flavio Mogherini is probably best known as the art director for the cult favorites “Danger: Diabolik” and “Satyricon.
The performances by the lead actors are surprisingly strong, given the fact that the film is poorly dubbed and the script is so mediocre. Milland, who will forever be known to genre enthusiasts as “The Man with the X-Ray Eyes,” gives a solid turn as the inspector. It gives the film an added kick to see the distinguished actor in an adult crime/exploitation film. Ferrer, who must have made a small fortune slumming in these cheap Italian productions, once again plays an authority figure with dignity. The best performance is given by Placido as the jilted husband. It doesn’t hurt that his character is the more sympathetic of everyone involved. Lazzaro (from “Flesh for Frankenstein”) has a movie star face and a great body but has little offer aside from her physical beauty.

Riz Ortolani composed the music and Amanda Lear sings in the soundtrack.
