Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key

Synopsis: Oliviero is a burned-out writer, living at his estate near Venice, his dead mother dominating his imagination. He is also a degenerate: sleeps with his maid and his ex-student, hosts Bacchanalia for local hippies, and humiliates his wife Irina in front of strangers. She lives in terror. When a young woman is murdered, police suspect Oliviero. Things get complicated when his young, beautiful, and self-confident niece, Floriana, pays an unexpected visit. A silver-haired stranger observes. More women die, and thoughts of harming Irina give Oliviero new inspiration. What's Floriana's game and who's the observant stranger? Watching all is a black cat named Satan.

come in last night.
Brenda's not here
so you'll have to get it. Get dressed.
- They must be fast sleep, Inspector.
- Yep.
- Good morning.
- Mr Rouvigny?
- What do you want?
- I apologise...
I apologise for this unusual hour.
I'm Inspector Farla.
It's a bother, I know,
but I have to ask you
some questions.
About what?
Something...
...private.
I am Oliviero Rouvigny.
I know you very well, Mr Rouvigny...
at least by name.
Even Inspectors are victims
of compulsory education...
We occasionally read books.
Perhaps it would be better
if we went inside, Mr Rouvigny.
Of course, come with me.
I understand it won't be
pleasant for madam,
but I'd like to exchange
a few words in private.
Why? I've got no secrets
from my wife.
Very well.
That'll make it quicker.
You had a date last night
with a shop assistant
from the Roma Bookshop.
Is that right?
Who, Fausta?
Yes...
We used to see each
other a lot, Inspector,
but definitely not last night.
I was a teacher at Tasso High School
ten years ago
and Fausta was one of my students.
And they speak badly of students!
To keep a friendship going
with her own teacher for ten years.
That's lovely,
don't you agree, madam?
Very...
Oliviero's students
always had a soft spot for him.
I expect it's a high school complex.
How much sugar?
None, thank you, madam.
If I understand correctly, Fausta's
accused me of standing her up?
Vittorio.
She probably didn't have time.
We don't believe she died accidentally,
Mr Rouvigny.
It really is Fausta.
- But who could have...?
- Killed her so horribly?
That's what we've got to find out.
All we know for now
is that she was killed
with a curved blade,
a sickle perhaps.
Mr Rouvigny...
where were you
from 8:
00 till 10:00 last night?
