Identikit

Elizabeth Taylor plays Lise, a woman who travels from London to Rome and whose behaviour grows increasingly erratic as she pursues a search for a man. Her plans are vague and unsettling, and the city she arrives in is tense, divided by authoritarian laws and left-wing violence. Mona Washbourne plays Mrs. Helen Fiedke, Ian Bannen appears as Bill, and Guido Mannari, Luigi Squarzina and Maxence Mailfort are also in the cast.

Identikit was directed by Giuseppe Patroni Griffi, who wrote the screenplay with Raffaele La Capria; Franco Rossellini produced. It was the first of the four films Patroni Griffi directed, followed by The Divine Nymph, The Trap and Tosca. An Italian production also involving German and international partners, it runs 102 minutes and belongs to the drama genre. Taylor, by then a long-established star, carries the central role, while the supporting cast is largely European.

The film's reception has been modest. On IMDb it holds a rating of 5.9 from around 1,300 votes, indicating a small and mixed response. On TMDB the average is 6.4 from a much smaller number of votes, roughly seventeen, so that figure rests on very little data and is less meaningful than the larger sample.
