The Killer Is on the Phone (Italian: L'assassino... è al telefono, also known as Scenes From a Murder) is a 1972 Italian giallo film directed by Alberto De Martino.
Synopsis
Depuis la mort mystérieuse de son compagnon Peter, Eleanor est devenue amnésique. Actrice, elle ne souvient plus du tout de Peter, qu'elle croit toujours vivant, et continue sa vie à Bruges. Elle ne se rappelle plus qu'elle a épousé un autre homme, George, et elle entretient une liaison avec un acteur de théâtre, Thomas, avec qui elle joue dans une pièce inspirée de la vie de Lady Godiva. Un jour, lors qu'elle se trouve aux alentours du port, devant une cabine téléphonique, Eleanor tombe nez à nez avec un homme en train de boire, avant de s'évanouir choquée. Emmenée à l'hôpital, elle retrouve une partie de sa mémoire grâce à un sérum de vérité. Quelque temps plus tard, sa vie est chamboulée lorsque l'étranger qu'elle a aperçu la contacte au téléphone et tue ses proches. Sa meilleure amie, Dorothy, est tuée à coups de couteau. Après avoir abattu son époux, le tueur cherche à supprimer tous les témoins avant de faire disparaître Eleanor. Pendant ce temps, Margaret Vervoort, la directrice du théâtre, émet bientôt une hypothèse : et si Eleanor simulait l'amnésie afin de cacher des secrets assassins ? Car elle a hérité du domaine de Peter qui vaut une fortune et elle n'en parle jamais. De son côté, Eleanor pense que son nouveau mari et son amant ont fomenté un complot contre elle afin de la rendre folle.Actors

A mysterious killer is attacking women associated with a blackmail conspiracy. The deranged murderer seizes his victims by paralyzing them with a needle and then slicing open their bellies (in the same way tarantulas are killed by the black wasp or spider wasp). It is up to reluctant Inspector Tellini to find out who the killer is, before he or his girlfriend too becomes a target.

Detective Ulisse Moretti (von Sydow) is investigating a series of murders in Turin in 1983 known as The Dwarf Murders. The main suspect, a giallo novelist named Vincenzo de Fabritiis, turns up dead and the case is considered closed. However, seventeen years later, a similar series of murders begin and draw the since-retired Moretti back into the case. Moretti teams up with Giacomo (Stefano Dionisi), whose mother was murdered in the 1983 spree, to determine if de Fabritiis is still alive or was actually innocent of the crimes for which he was accused. As the murders continue, the investigating duo discovers that the murderer is arranging their murder to an old nursery rhyme about the killing of animals.
