Movie Reviews of 5 Dolls For an August Moon

Movie Review: .....and then there was Bava
Summary: 3 Stars

While this film has it's moments, and probably should be viewed by all Bava enthusiasts, I wouldn't recommend this as your Bava intro if you're a newcomer. It's got alot of the Bava trademarks and such, but most reviewers are correct when they say this is one of Bava's lesser films. Of course a lesser Bava film is infinitely better than a "good" Michael bay film anyday. This movie plays out like Bava's version of Clue. It's a bunch of folks holed up in a snazzy house on an island. One of these guests has developed a very important formula for industrial purposes(it's never clearly explained just what it is). A trio of high falootin rich guys are persistent in trying to get the inventor to sell it to them. He don't wanna sell! He wants to do it for the benefit of humanity and not personal profit. How noble. Soon, the guests start dropping off like flies and the question is, who's doing it? Is it because of this formula? Marital infidelity? Detroit? Is the professor as noble as he seems? Ya know, honestly you really don't care all that much. While the movie's never exactly boring, it's never that interesting either. Only a handful of characters stand out, and unless you've seen it many times, alot of the female characters seem interchangeable, and it's sometimes difficult to determine who was who and what their part in the whole thing was. On the positive side, it's got some groovy music, some succulent women and of course, those Bava visuals. Hardcore bava fans-see it for sure, everyone else-optional.

Summary of 5 Dolls For an August Moon

George Stark, a wealthy industrialist and playboy, gathers a group of bourgeois friends at his isolated island beach house for the weekend. His guest of honor is Gerry Farrell, a brilliant chemist who has discovered a remarkable new formula. Farrell doesn't care to discuss business, but the businessmen in attendance are determined to talk money--in the millions. Each of them angers the others with secrets bids and back alley deals, spawning an atmosphere of distrust, exacerbated by the sexual intrigue in the air between the men and their various wives and mistresses. Suspicions begin to rise when the guests begin to turn up dead, one by one! Mario Bava strikes again--and again, and again--in this stylish and wicked whodunit, never before released in America!
