What Have You Done To Solange? is a giallo. What’s a “giallo”? I’m glad you asked; they are 20th Century Italian thrillers with a marked emphasis on sex, violence and style over narrative coherence. Other, more precise definitions may apply but that’ll do for now. It’s not a great example of a giallo because it has a much more sedate visual approach than that of, say,  giallo king Dario Argento, but on the other (black-gloved) hand it compensates with plenty of creepy salaciousness and unpleasantly misogynistic murders. Unlike Argento or Mario Bava (the genre’s progenitor) Dallamano directs as though he’s making an orthodox murder mystery for the most part, with straightforward sets ups and a lack of the dreamlike delirium the more outré giallo entries possess. What Have You Done To Solange? could easily be mistaken for a mainstream ‘70s thriller except for the grubby sexuality capering like a satyr alongside the Sunday afternoon movie elements. But that weird synchronised existence of the uptight alongside the immoral is what the movie seems to be about; the way socially repressed sexuality results in perversion, sometimes of the murderous persuasion. Or maybe it was just the ‘70s; that flasher-in-the-park of a decade that makes everything that bit more rank and vile.

We hear a lot about misogyny these days which is good, or it’s better at least; because in the ‘70s you didn’t hear about it, you lived in it. And What Have You Done To Solange? captures that feeling of misogyny being in the tap water and the air itself perfectly. Our hero, Enrico Rossini (Fabio Testi), is a teacher (a position of authority) but he’s knocking off one of his pupils, Brenda Pilchard (that name, tho! Pilchard!) (Claudia Butenuth),  (so there goes his Ofsted rating) and their initial tryst is interrupted by a did-I-didn’t-I witnessing of a brutal sex murder (both the uncertainty of the witness and the sexual violence are more giallo staples). This puts the teacher in a bit of a pickle when the body is discovered and his pen is found near the scene; the police and his wife being unlikely to see it as a bit of “cheeky fun” unlike his fellow teacher. And he’s set up his schoolgirl fancy in a love pad that has posters of topless ladies adorning the walls, which is a new level of piggishness. In order to clear his name Enrico and his wife, Herta (Karen Ball), investigate, but only after Ms Pilchard is murdered which reunites the estranged couple because, well, life goes on, right? Well, not for Brenda Pilchard, but never mind. The crux of the matter, and the key to proving Enrico’s innocence, will not only be what has been done to Solange, but who did it and why? And who is Solange anyway? 

While the inescapable moral turpitude on show tends to distract from it, Dallamano has, I think, made a daring decision to face head-on some of the sexual horrors of the time. It would have been easy to make the whole thing more palatable by recasting the events as metaphoric horror tomfoolery, perhaps involving a coven and some kind of ritual gone wrong, but What Have You Done To Solange? uses its seediness  to call attention to the often traumatic repercussions of society reducing a medical procedure to a criminal enterprise. Things were tough for chicks during the dirty mac decade, is what it’s saying. Baby.

So if you want to watch a movie where a sex creep is the hero and the awful things that happen to women when misogyny becomes institutionalised are challenged via the mechanism of a whodunit set in a ‘70s London where everyone inexplicably speaks Italian, What Have You Done To Solange? is for you.  However if you want to see a sleazily prurient and intermittently violent movie set in a ‘70s London where everyone inexplicably speaks Italian with a sex creep as the hero, What Have You Done To Solange? is also for you. Either way the guy’s a sex creep.
