Umberto Lenzi has released a new novel called Delitti a Cinecittà, a murder mystery set in Cinecitta in the 1940s. The basic plot goes something like this: while shooting a new film for director Alessandro Blasetti, someone tries to kill the famous actress Luisa Ferida. She engages a former police commissioner turned private detective, Bruno Astolfi, to track down her attacker. Astolfi suspects that it could be someone involved with making the film, and starts looking into the lives of the the characters involved, suspecting that events could hinge upon some dark events in the past.
Sounds interesting. Now how about a film version!
