Identikit: Directed by Giuseppe Patroni Griffi. With Elizabeth Taylor, Ian Bannen, Guido Mannari, Mona Washbourne. Mentally disturbed spinster Lise (Dame Elizabeth Taylor) experiences a series of bizarre encounters in Rome as she searches for someone to murder her.

“Those sadly uneducated critics who dub this Lizu0026#39; worst film have evidently never seen Boom!, based on Tennessee Williamsu0026#39; play The Milk Train Doesnu0026#39;t Stop Here Anymore. I donu0026#39;t believe Boom! has ever been released in any video format; it is unbelievably horrendous. Compared to it, Identikit (or The Driveru0026#39;s Seat) is a work of genius. Lizu0026#39; rant at the saleslady in the very first scene is worthy of comparison with Mink Stoleu0026#39;s opening sequence in Desperate Living. Iu0026#39;m also fond of the scene at the airport, where she shouts at the security people, u0026quot;Youu0026#39;re all so suspicious! SUSPICIOUS! SUS-PI-CIOUS!u0026quot; Her wardrobe looks like it was designed by a clown(her landlady asks derisively if sheu0026#39;s off to join the circus), her hair must be seen to be believed, and I give this piece of vintage Liziana three out of four stars.”
