Información en línea:
Cesare Cardinalli tiene que matar a tres testigos en tres sitios muy lejanos entre sí. Una voz femenina y susurrante le ha encargado la tarea por teléfono.
Una vez tomado el compromiso, Cardinalli decide que lo acompañe Barbara, una modelo de extraordinaria hermosura y no tan extraordinaria moral, que hará más llevadero el encargo.
Cardinalli comete los asesinatos como un profesional. El primero, en el Palacio de Justicia de Nueva York. El segundo, en Las Vegas. El tercero, en una piscina ensangrentada en Miami.
La policía le sigue los pasos, pero está desorientada. No tanto lo está la Mafia cuyas castañas acaba de sacar del fuego: alguien en la organización piensa que Cardinalli puede ser más peligroso que los testigos a los que ha matado. Y comienza la caza del hombre.
Comercial. Censurado. Controvertido. Sexual. Traducido a 32 idiomas. Harold Robbins fue escritor de 25 best-sellers. En 1948 publicó su primer libro, No amarás a un extraño, para ganar una apuesta de 100 dólares a un directivo de Universal Pictures. Basado en sus experiencias personales en un orfanato, provocó una gran polémica por su sexualidad explícita. Y arrasó en ventas. Le siguieron novelas tan célebres como Las pirañas, Los depredadores, El narrador de historias y El precio del placer. Su obra más popular fue Los insaciables (The Carpetbaggers), adaptada a la gran pantalla en 1963 por Edward Dmytryk y protagonizada por George Peppard.

MI COMENTARIO:
Cesare Cardinali es un joven aristócrata italiano que debe su exuberante estilo de vida a los favores de un jefe supremo de la mafia. Su principal habilidad es matar silenciosamente con un cuchillo conocido como stiletto, que produce una herida que le da tiempo para escapar luego de ser infligida. Se encuentra en EE.UU. con la misión de eliminar a cuatro hombres que esperan juicio en un caso sensacional contra el crimen organizado. George Baker, agente especial del FBI, es el hombre que ha reunido la evidencia para encerrar a esos mismos cuatro hombres de por vida. Cuando uno es acuchillado bajo la atenta mirada de un policía frente a un tribunal de Nueva York, y otro se encuentra desplomado sobre una mesa de juego de Las Vegas, Baker entra en un juego del gato y el ratón para atrapar a Cardinali antes de que se destruya todo el caso. Pero el aristócrata asesino suma enemigos aún más peligrosos: varios mafiosos deciden liquidarlo para suprimir cualquier evidencia de su relación con Cardinali.
En este juego viril, participan tres mujeres impresionantes. Barbara, modelo de belleza arrolladora y creciente fama, amante de Cesare, que termina siendo asesinada fríamente por él cuando empieza a hacer las preguntas incorrectas. La baronesa Ileana, que ascendió desde su familia arruinada (a lo que contribuyó con un trío sexual... ¡con su propia madre!) hasta el jet set internacional gracias a sus virtudes amatorias; también es amante de Cesare, y su traidora, cuando acepta trabajar de forma encubierta para Baker. Finalmente, Luke, la más fascinante de todas, agente secreta de la mafia, cuyo nombre de varón indica su rechazo al sexo opuesto, producto de una vida plagada de desastres provocados por su entorno masculino. Luke encuentra en Cesare al hombre capaz de volverse su pareja, una opción imposible para ella hasta ese momento. Sin embargo, tiene que lidiar con su misión: llevar a Cesare a una trampa mortal, en que pueda ser matado por los sicarios enviados por sus enemigos. La muerte tiene un premio: la comprensión del fracaso de toda una vida.
Novela hedonista y sombría a la vez, Stiletto puede tomarse como una transición entre las historias de mafiosos volcadas a la acción de los años 40 y 50, y las novelas de Mario Puzo, que le dieron una perspectiva más amplia al fenómeno de la Cosa Nostra.
 
ADAPTACIÓN AL CINE:
Bernard L. Kowalski fue el director de la adaptación cinematográfica de Stiletto, en 1969. Sus protagonistas fueron Alex Cord (conde Cesare Cardinali), Britt Ekland (Illeana), Patrick O’Neal (George Baker), Joseph Wiseman (Emilio Matteo), Barbara McNair (Ahn Dessie), John Dehner (fiscal de distrito Frank Simpson), Titos Vandis (Tonio), Eduardo Ciannelli (Don Andrea) y Roy Scheider (Bennett). Esta película presentó varios cambios en la historia original; uno de los principales es que Baker pasa de ser un agente del FBI a un asistente del fiscal de distrito de Neuva York, lo que licúa en parte el contenido de espionaje de la novela. En Argentina se estrenó con el título original, mientras que en España fue retitulada como El precio del placer.

Apple Intelligence will help AI become as commonplace as word processing


When Apple’s version of AI, branded as Apple Intelligence, rolls out in October to folks with the company’s latest hardware, the response is likely to be a mix of delight and disappointment. The AI capabilities on their way to Apple’s walled-garden will bring helpful new features, such as textual summaries in email, Messages and Safari; image creation; and a more context-aware version of Siri. But as Apple Intelligence’s beta testing has already made clear, the power of these features falls well below what is on offer from major players like OpenAI, Google, and Meta. Apple AI won’t come close to…
