About The Killer Is on the Phone
A woman whose husband was murdered five years previously, is stalked by his killer, who wants to eliminate her as a potential witness. What he doesn't know is that the shock of his murder caused her to have amnesia, and she doesn't remember anything.
Directed by Alberto De Martino, The Killer Is on the Phone leans on a strong ensemble — Telly Savalas, Anne Heywood, Osvaldo Ruggieri — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 1972.
