A blind violinist's seeing eye dog witnesses a murder…and it’s up to this good boy to solve it.

In 1975, Italian director Enrico Januzzi began filming a giallo set in Rome – a feverish tale of a blind violinist who rises to first chair of the symphony, only to find herself stalked as a black-gloved killer murders her fellow musicians one by one. The only witness: her seeing-eye dog. Production collapsed after a week, and the footage was presumed lost, until its rediscovery in 2025. Painstakingly restored by WBAZ Films, this surviving fragment is presented here for the very first time.
