Opera Part Three

Cristina Marsillach, as Betty the Opera singer, get placed into position by the mysterious killer.

He starts tying her to a support column in the bedroom. Bear in mind that she already has her hands bound behind her back and is gagged.

As I mentioned before, the editing in this scene is so on point, showing us all the deatils of her getting bound without slowing down the pacing of the scene.

Some of these shots were done with a double (and they still work), but Cristina Marsillach is very clearly seen bound and gagged, as well.

And here above is my favorite shot of this sequence (of course).

And then we come to the whole point of this bizarre scene. Because the killer doesn't want to harm Betty. No, he wants her to watch.

Almost thirty five years old, and Opera still has one of my all-time favorite BF scenes that still holds up.
