The scene at the grave (spoilers)

I thought it was both funny and spooky, especially when Carlo gets locked inside the tomb. The way in which he reacted when taking the necklace off Bianca's body and then replacing it by sort of throwing it back as he doesn't want to linger was not only funny but is how I would have reacted.

Then after Arno returns to release Carlo there's a few moments where Carlo suspects him. Really clever.

I found this to be Argento's most comic film, if that's an appropriate term, of those I've seen thus far.

Moments of perfection,
idle in the sunshine

Four Flies On Grey Velvet has some straight up comedy in it. Rhe humorous moments in Four Flies are truly funny and work really well in the film. I've always thought that Four Flies is Argento's most underrated film.

I've recently watched Four Flies and loved it. I agree that the use of humour in Four Flies is as prevalent as in Cat.

Yeah, that was great how Carlo was afraid and kept backing away everytime Arno got closer. Then when Arno yells out "For God's sake, let's get out of here!" Carlo's fear finally subsides. Fantastic scene all around.

It's occurred to me since that Arno might have suspected it was Carlo who attacked him and this was why he was being quite aggressive when they are reunited in the tomb.

I love the scene. It's rivalled by the coffin convention scene in Four Flies on Velvet. I really recommend that film.
