This film from 1963, directed by the master himself, does not only contain a very young John Saxon, but also an expressive Leticia Roman as main character. Still in black and white, the film was shot between Bava's "Black Sabbath" and one year before his magnificent "Blood and Black Lace". "The Girl Who Knew Too Much" is a nice Giallo, an alterate cut was assembled by American distributors and producers when the film was still in production. This means, censorship is not the correct here. The US Version is simply an alternate cut in which elements, that were probably considered a bit much back in the day, are missing (drug references).

Both versions are scored differently, the voice-over that illustrates the thoughts of the main character Nora is missing in the US Version. The main character Nora Dawson is called Nora Drowson in the US Version. The original dialogs haven't made it in the US Version either. They are less offensive in general plus some things are missing on purpose, such as drug references. On the other hand, some elements have been added (like the sportsman who adores Nora, the eyes in the painting on the wall). The finale is entirely different, so please excuse the huge amount of screenshots.

In the followig comparison, the original "The Girl Who Knew Too Much" version is called "Italian Version", the "Evil Eye" version is called "US Version".

Please note: this comparison contains huge spoilers. Thanks to comparison the film scene by scene, the killer's identity will be revealed.
