Smile Before Death

'Smile of the Hyena') is a 1972 Italian giallo film written and directed by Silvio Amadio, and starring Rosalba Neri.

Marco murders his wife (making it appear to be suicide by slashing her throat with a shard of glass) and becomes the administrator of his wife's estate, with the proviso that Nancy, Dorothy's daughter from a previous marriage, takes over control when she turns twenty.

Marco's daughter Nancy contacts him to notify him that she will be taking control of her mother's estate very soon.

Nancy has been living in a boarding school for years and hadn't seen her mother for a long time.

The song became widely known in America for its use in a 2001 Honda Civic commercial called "Cut It Out," where a teenage boy sitting in a back seat between two girls attempts to take a wide stance and is castigated by his older sister who is driving.
