So Perverse (Italian: Così dolce... così perversa) is a 1969 Italian giallo film directed by Umberto Lenzi, written by Ernesto Gastaldi, starring Carroll Baker.Riz Ortolani provided the music score which includes a memorable ballad called Why? (a tune which was also re-used later in another Lenzi film,Seven Bloodstained Orchids).
The film was released in Spain as Dulce para mater... perversa para amar (Sweet for Killing, Perverse for Loving). This was Carroll Baker's second Italian thriller, following her successful appearance in Orgasmo (1969).
Jean, a rich Parisian socialite, comes to the aid of a frightened young woman (Nicole) who lives in the apartment below him who is under the domineering control of her abusive boyfriend, Klaus. Although he is married, Jean develops a romantic relationship with Nicole, not realizing that she and Klaus are involved in a plot to murder Jean for a $ 20,000.00 payoff. Nicole eventually falls in love with their intended victim, but Klaus kills Jean and burns his body in a car, making it look like he died in an accident. It transpires that Jean's wife Danielle conspired with Danielle to kill her rich husband, but when she begins to feel remorse, Nicole's ingenious plan moves into gear.
