Dagger Eyes (released in Italy and France as Mystère; also known as Murder Near Perfect) is an Italian thriller film starring Carole Bouquet as Mystère.[1] The plot deals with prostitution.[2] The film was first released in Italy in 1983.[3]
Plot synopsis
Mystère is a high-class French prostitute who practices in Rome . Her friend and colleague Pamela steals a gold lighter from a German customer and hides it in her purse. The German and Pamela are mysteriously killed in rapid succession and the same Mystère is saved from an aggression only for the promptness of mind and the prompt intervention of the inspector "Colt". With the latter comes a subtle understanding that will allow the two to come to the fore of the international intrigue in which they find themselves involved.
The German, in fact, was a photographer who had made very compromising shots on the occasion of an attack by the Soviet secret services on an American high office, which took place in Piazza di Spagna . He then hid the microfilm of the same in the lighter then accidentally passed into the hands of Mystère. The beautiful prostitute discovers that the photographer and friend's killer is the head of Criminalpol, and manages to save Colt from them. The same Colt then kills his boss and decides to deal directly with the secret services to be able to obtain a rich sum with which then escape for a new life with Mystère.
The adventurous succession of events actually allows the inspector to take the million dollars but then the initial plan changes and the woman is abandoned. But Mystère equally reaches Colt in his golden exile and, instead of taking revenge, asks for and obtains love. Not even the return on their traces of the secret agent, thirsty for the money given up for the famous exchange, spoils the party for the two lovers who, once they find themselves, can finally enjoy the sweaty booty.
