As directorial debuts go, Dario Argento's The Bird with the Crystal Plumage is quite impressive. Although Argento would perfect his craft in later films, Bird maintains a consistent veil of suspense, mixing in a touch of ultraviolence and a twist of Hitchcock. As such, it is a solid example of the quintessentially Italian giallo film.
Argento's storyline, loosely adapted without credit from Fredric Brown's novel Screaming Mimi, centers on Sam Dalmas (Tony Musante), an American writer looking for (and failing to find) inspiration in Italy. He's ready to pack it in and fly back to the States when he witnesses an attempted murder at an art gallery, which he is helpless to prevent. We later discover that this attack is connected to a string of homicides perpetrated by a madman. The police question him, but there's some major clue that he can't quite recall. At Inspector Morosini's (Enrico Maria Salerno)'s encouragement, Sam launches his own private investigation into the serial murders, putting himself and his girlfriend (Suzy Kendall) in the path of danger.
