Screaming Mimi (1958)
Country: US
Technical: bw 79m
Director: Gerd Oswald
Cast: Anita Ekberg, Phil Carey, Harry Townes, Gypsy Rose Lee
Synopsis:
A woman is attacked by a knife-wielding man, is manipulated by a possessive psychiatrist, and develops a fetish for a statuette inspired by the original assault. A journalist meanwhile unravels the mystery of a series of new assaults...
Review:
An oddly perfunctory thriller with lurid elements, not least an exotic dance performed by Miss Ekberg with strong overtones of bondage. The reactions of the audience stand as an emblem for the emoting of the cast in general: the Great Dane wins in the acting stakes.
