Lizards in Movies   Lizard in a Woman's Skin (1971)   Spoiler Alert ! Some of these pictures and descriptions may give away plot details that you might not want to know before watching the film.   "WARNING! Not Recommended Viewing for Persons with Schizophrenic Tendencies!" WARNING! There are no lizards in this movie - but there is a lot of women's skin, so the title isn't completely wrong. (But how could I resist a movie with this title?) I don't know if the title is an Italian saying or if it was made up for the movie, which was originally titled "Una lucertola con la pelle di donna" which Google translates as "A lizard with a woman's skin." It refers to an ugly monster hidden inside a beautiful woman, which tends to offend my fondness for lizards. I was hoping the movie would be a lizard version of the snake women movies, with a beautiful woman who changes into a lizard, but it's not. There are no lizards in the movie, only a green iguana in the preview. It was directed by the notorious Italian movie director Lucio Fulci, and it's a pretty good giallo with all the violence, beautiful women, and crazy camera work you expect from the genre, so it's worth a look.
