Plot:
-----
Umberto Lenzi Giallo's range in quality from sublime to trash, but his earlier genre entries tended to be the best; and So Sweet...So Perverse is certainly at the higher end of Lenzi's Giallo achievements. One of the trademarks of Giallo is a high dosage of sex scenes; but despite the fact that this film has the word 'perverse' in it's title; So Sweet...So Perverse is actually not all that perverse at all, especially not by Giallo standards. Rather, the film focuses more on the plot details than perversity, and it just about serves it well. Italian directors were famous for ripping of successful films from other countries, and the plot here is clearly lifted from the French classic 'Les Diaboliques'. We focus on a couple with marital problems; Jean and Danielle. When Jean hears a woman screaming in the upstairs apartment one day, he immediately decides to investigate. There he finds Nicole; a woman frightened of her boyfriend Klaus. The pair soon begin to fall in love, but it later transpires that this was just a trap set to snare Jean...
Trama:
------
Jean, giovane industriale chimico, sposato con Danielle, conosce Nicole, una bella ragazza che è venuta ad abitare sopra di lui, e la corteggia. Essa è perseguitata da un uomo selvaggio, Klaus, dal quale non riesce a liberarsi: solo l'affetto che Jean le offre sembra renderla più serena mentre turba stranamente Danielle, che ormai è abituata alla vita del marito. Gli incontri fra Jean e Nicole però vengono turbati dai misteriosi interventi di Klaus.
