Rating: - 3 stars for the 5th cord, an above average giallo
this is one of the most visually fantastic giallo i've seen yet. the composition is perfect. beautiful images contrast a stark plot, as a real giallo should.
there's a brief shot early on with to spiral stair cases on opsing sides of the huge building. this was one of my favorite shots in the movie but what did it even have to do with anyhting??
any how, mr nero does well in this role and has an interesting look that is perfect for a leading man. the scene where he beats the piss out ... Read More
Rating:  - A spooky, whodunnit murder thriller from the 70's
THE FIFTH CHORD (1975) is a spooky, whodunnit murder thriller
starring the talented Franco Nero, who packs his characteristic
convincing, intense physical and mental presence to this Italian-made
movie.
A number of elements from this movie, are typically from the 70's
making the release a bit dated, such as the sideburns haircut, the
architecture (wooden homes, with sharp geometry),_ raincoats and the
simplicity of the man and woman relationships ... Read More
Rating:  - And You Though The First Four Were Scary!
Giallo fans need only apply. And giallo fans will know what to expect from this one. There's akilla on the loose and he's hinting that there will be five murders.

There were about eight billion giallos around at this time, and The Fifth Cord stands above many of them. It's got a great look and a very good performance from Nero. Nero is a ... Read More
Rating: - A Beautiful Wedge of Giallo Eye Candy
With Franco Nero as the lead and cinematography by the multiple Oscar-winning Vittorio Storaro you'd be a fool not to expect an extremely good looking film. And if you're a fan of murder mysteries--especially the Italian variety known as gialli--then you'll probably eat this one up. The story is pretty thin and it's not gore soaked like many others, but it's really thick with a somber, tense, shadow-filled atmosphere and it's well acted by the jaw droppingly handsome Nero, Rosella Falk and Sylvia Monti. ...

Rating: - For fans of the genre.
I haven't seen the Blue Underground disc yet, but I'm sure that the picture and sound quality are miles ahead of my Japanese import. I'll confine my comments to the film itself. On the downside, the story is really nothing special. I identified the killer on sight. But giallo fans are often more concerned with atmosphere - which brings us to the upside. Franco Nero is just fine as usual, but the real stars are Morricone and Storaro. This really is a terrific score. (An excellent CD was available under the ... Read More
