...this neatly contrived suspense drama, all the surprises happen right on schedule. Some are effective, though, such as when Gina shuffles a corpse from a yacht to a Rolls-Royce to a country house. She faces each plot twist with swish and crackle, and is about to collect the millions when-but never mind. The real mystery is that anyone would pin a title like Woman of Straw on a movie starring Lollobrigida...
