Assassination In Rome (1965)

Italian thriller starring Cyd Charisse as Shelley North, a woman whose husband has gone missing shortly after their arrival in Rome. At the same time, an unidentified man with drugs on him has turned up dead at the Trevi Fountain. An old friend of Shelley's, reporter Dick Sherman (Hugh O'Brian), teams up with her and the Roman police to try to find where her husband is and what connection he might have with the dead man. There are quite a few red herrings and some wacky characters including a pair of bumbling thieves who rob the dead man's apartment after it's already been ransacked.

Available: Netflix, Amazon
