![]() The setting in Santo Stefano caused me a brief laugh–while the story is set in Lombardy, close to the Swiss border, I instantly thought of Santo Stefano Belbo, a few miles from where I sit. After the untimely death of Ingram, while his heirs vie for control of the villa and its contents, the severed hand of the deceased owner starts committing a series of homicides. Here, in an ancient villa, ailing pianist Francis Ingram (Victor Francen) is living in seclusion with his gorgeous nurse (Andrea King), his astrology-obsessed secretary (Peter Lorre) and a friend that happens to be a musicologist but is making a living selling fake antiques to the tourists (Robert Alda–Alan’s dad). ![]() The story is set in the Italian village of Santo Stefano, at the turn of the century. ![]()
