Goofs
Against Sara's assault with a chainsaw, Reinhardt just picks up a chair and holds it in front of him so she can easily make a clean cut, rather than jerking it around to defend himself.

Quotes
Ted Walden: Before we talk of other things, who the hell am I?
Philip: [sucker punches Ted] I'll tell you who you are. You're a dirty son of a double-crosser. A two-bit con artist who thinks that he can pretend that he's lost his memory.
[kicks Ted while he's down]
Philip: Well I'll get it back for you.
Ted Walden: No! Hold it! Hold on!
Philip: Ah. Got it back already, have you?
Ted Walden: No.

Fantastic Italian giallo with lovely Anita Strindberg.

Luc Merenda suffers from amnesia.His memory is fragmented but he seems to remember that he was once married to Senta Berger.When he returns to her his past partners in crime appear and want to get the money he has hidden somewhere...Superbly shot Italian giallo with violent and exciting finale which includes chainsaw vs chair duel.Luc Merenda is a pretty good lead and Senta Berger makes for a beautiful heroine and there's also a smaller role for genre regular Anita Strindberg.There are several suspenseful moments in "Puzzle",so fans of Italian gialli won't be disappointed.The film lack sleaze and high body-count,but overlook that and you have one of the best Italian giallos of early 70's with lovingly breezy Gianni Ferrio score.8 giallos out of 10.
