La Commare Secca aka The Grim Reaper

In order to determine who to arrest for the horrific murder of a beautiful prostitute whose body is discovered in a park on the day of heavy rain, Roman police officers investigate a number of potential killers. The 1962 Italian film La commare secca (roughly “The thin gossip,” English title The Grim Reaper) by Bernardo Bertolucci is based on a short story by Pier Paolo Pasolini. Bertolucci made his directorial debut at the age of 21.
