Libido is okay, it's not terrible or anything, but let me put it this way: if these same characters were in a trailer park instead of a mansion this would be an episode of The Jersey Shore.
Christian is a serious and reserved man of about 30 who has recently lost his violent, mentally ill father and has inherited a large house with a beach and everything. But he doesn't seem happy about it at all, he's utterly miserable. His wife-to-be (or new wife? Unclear) Helene is also a serious woman, so you could say they're well matched and she seems mature enough to deal with his...issues.
However, there's an employee of Christian's father - probably a lawyer? Again, unclear - named Paul who is 40 something, possibly 50 but married to a much younger woman. Paul is there to oversee the estate (and Christian's mental health) for 3 months until it can be permanently issued into Christian's hands legally.
Paul's wife Brigitte is apparently intellectually disabled or has some kind of weird personality disorder, seeing that she looks 26 or 27 and acts like a 14 or 15 year old immature school girl, giggling and acting completely unaware of normal adult behavior. Paul claims she's "just a baby" but even the actress, Mara Maryl, was 26 when this film was released in 1965; she is absolutely NOT convincing as a teenaged bride.
So with this trashy woman hanging around, Christian is tempted to re-enact his father's violence and turns to Brigitte within 48 hours sharing his fantasies of strangling her. Yikes on several bikes.
This is very much a typical 1960s melodrama thriller and not at all a real giallo, even if it's Italian.
