Short Night of Glass Dolls (1971)
(Malastrana)
Country: IT/GER/YUG
Technical: Technicolor 92m
Director: Aldo Lado
Cast: Jean Sorel, Ingrid Thulin, Barbara Bach, Mario Adorf
Synopsis:
A foreign journalist in Prague searches for a missing girlfriend and finds himself the victim of narcolepsy when he traces her to a club haunted by diabolists.
Review:
Morricone-scored, imaginatively and moderately elegantly filmed psycho-thriller (too many zooms, though); the acting is wooden even in the Italian version, and the plot, reminiscent of Rosemary's Baby, is in fact derived from one of those American TV half-hours.
