Movie: Dirty Fingers

VHS cover

Smutsiga fingrar, 1973,

Dir: Arne Mattsson
Cover artist: ?

"...is a mix of police thriller-filmnoir-sleaze-(unintentional comedy)."/"...may fail to be taken seriously as a drama/thriller, yet it is the most entertaining film of its kind I've seen. Suspense, drugs, murder, sex, abuse, nudity, torture,car chases and badly staged fist fights. Also see if you can spot sex starlet Marie Ekorre who appears briefly in a bordello scene."
