Ms. Stiletto

Ms. Stiletto (original title: Isabella, duchessa dei diavoli) is a 1969 Italian-West German historical adventure film directed by Bruno Corbucci. The story takes place in the Kingdom of France in the early 17th century, during the minority of Louis XIII. An Alsatian baron murders a duke's family and seizes their château, but the duke's young daughter is rescued by the leader of a gypsy tribe. Years later, having grown into a teenager, she returns determined to take revenge on those who destroyed her family. The film is adapted from the Isabella fumetti created by Giorgio Cavedon and Renzo Barbieri, a series known as Italy's first openly erotic comic book, itself inspired by the Angélique novels. Brigitte Skay stars in the title role alongside Mimmo Palmara and Fred Williams, with Sal Borgese and Luca Sportelli also appearing. The film premiered in Italy in August 1969.
