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.         This movie 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 with one caveat: WARNING! There are no lizards in this movie! There is a lot of women's skin, so the title isn't completely wrong. I couldn't resist watching 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. The movie 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 lizard lovers might find offensive. From the title and some of the posters I was hoping the movie would be a lizard version of the snake women movies, but with a beautiful woman who changes into a lizard instead of a snake. Unfortunately, it's not. There is a shot of a green iguana in the preview, and that's the only lizard I saw, but I don't regret watching it.
