A Lizard in a Woman's Skin (Italian: Una
lucertola con la pelle di donna; released
as Schizoid in the US) is a 1971 Italian
giallo film directed by Lucio Fulci.

The film is perhaps most famous for a
scene in which Mrs. Hammond opens the door
to a room filled with dogs that are
apparently being experimented on. The dogs
are cut open with their hearts and guts
still pulsating. The scene was so graphic
and realistic that several crew members
were forced to testify in court to
disprove the accusation that real dogs
were used in the film. Carlo Rambaldi,
a special effects artist, saved Fulci from
a two-year prison sentence by presenting
the fake dog props in court to a seemingly
unconvinced judiciary. This was the
first time in film history that an effects
artist had to prove his work was not real
in a court of law.

STORY:

Florinda Bolkan plays the daughter of a
prominant English politician who keeps
having recurring "nightmares" in which
she makes love to a bisexual nympho who
lives downstairs and conducts all-night
LSD orgies. When the nocturnal wet
dreams become murderous, the neighbor
turns up dead, and Florinda is the main
suspect. Did she actually commit the
murder she dreamt about? Is she being
framed by her philandering husband? Did
Florinda actually make nightly visits
downstairs aside from borrowing the
occasional cup of sugar? How DID
Florinda's letter opener end up stuck in
the dead neighbor's chest anyway? The
complex plot unfolds amidst red herrings,
outlandish dream sequences, lesbian
hanky panky, and ominous close-ups of
Florinda Bolkan's guilt-ridden facial
expressions every time someone mentions
the murder. All this takes place in
swinging late-1960's London.
