The Weekend Murders (Template:Lang-it, also known as The Story of a Crime) is a 1970 Italian giallo film directed by Michele Lupo.[1][2][3][4]
Plot
A family goes to a British estate to hear the reading of a will and while there they are murdered one by one. An early victim is the butler, played by Ballard Berkeley, whose character speaks in a very different voice to Berkeley's normal voice.
The murders are investigated by a Scotland Yard detective, played by Lance Percival, and a local Police Sergeant, played by Gastone Moschin, who is probably best known to English-speakers as the white-suited Don Fanucci from The Godfather Part II.
The film was set and filmed on location at Somerleyton Hall, both for interior and exterior shots. There are also several scenes at Somerleyton railway station.
