Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLucio Fulci's intended title for the film was "Perversion Story". While the film was released under that title in France, producer Edmondo Amati elected to use the title for the Italian release of a Spanish film he co-produced, Murder by Music (1969), and retitle this film "Una sull'altra" (which had previously been used in press notices prior to the start of shooting), the translation of which, "One on Top of the Other", was used for its theatrical and VHS release in English-speaking countries. The "Perversion Story" title was later used for its DVD and Blu-ray releases.
- GoofsSan Luis Obispo is due south of San Francisco, but to get there from San Francisco George is seen driving over and past landmarks taking him east of his destination such as the San Mateo Bridge or north of his starting point such as the Golden Gate Bridge.
- Quotes
Monica Weston: [to George after having sex] You're quite, lover. You don't even say a word... well, I suppose it's better than the ones who talk all the time.
- Crazy creditsMarisa Mell and John Ireland, who are second- and fifth-billed on Italian prints, are top- and fourth-billed on English prints.
- Alternate versionsThe Severin DVD uses a French version of the film and runs about 97 minutes. The UK videotape version is about 11 minutes longer, at 108 minutes.

Excellent Thriller by Lucio Fulci
In Los Angeles, Dr. George Dumurrier (Jean Sorel) runs a clinic inherited from his father with his brother, Dr. Henry Dumurrier (Alberto de Mendoza). George is trying to find an investor to save the clinic that has many debts. He lives in a fancy mansion with his estranged wife Susan Dumurrier (Marisa Mell), who is asthmatic and is very sick, and has a lover, the photographer Jane Bleeker (Elsa Martinelli). While traveling with Jane, George learns that Susan has died. Further, he discovers that Susan had a one-million-dollar life insurance in his name. One night, George is having dinner with Jane in a restaurant and receives a phone call. He goes to a night-club where he sees the stripper Monica Weston, who is identical to Susan but has green eyes. George is intrigued and has one-night stand with Monica, who is worshiped by her client Benjamin Wormser (Riccardo Cucciolla). Meanwhile the insurance company investigates the death of Susan and concludes that she was murdered. Inspector Wald (John Ireland) is in charge to investigate who killed Susan and George is the prime suspect of the crime.
"Una sull'altra", a.k.a. "One on Top of the Other", is an excellent thriller by Lucio Fulci. The plot is erotic, with many beautiful actresses, has many great twists and the cinematography is very beautiful. The plot point in the final scene keeps the mystery and the tension until the last scene. My vote is eight.
