Movie Reviews of Crescendo
Movie Review: Excellent video quality...as for plot...
Summary: 4 Stars
This review is for the DVD video/audio quality. It is widescreen and uncut, and the transfer is great, especially if you've seen the painful bootlegs of this movie prior to this DVD release.
As for plot, back in 1972 when I was 9 yrs old (yikes), it made a strong impression on me, very creepy movie (it was the second feature to "Dracula AD 1972" in the theaters). Watching it now, I see nothing of that...go figure. I can't say it was a very enjoyable movie.
Summary of Crescendo
Drawn to the spectacular south of France to research the late composer Henry Ryman, music student Susan Roberts (Stefanie Powers) encounters his son, drug-addicted Georges (James Olson) and his eccentric family. Investigating the haunting strains of an unfinished Ryman concerto leads Susan to discover an empty piano... and a brutally savaged mannequin! Georges tells her she's the lookalike of his lost love. But Susan may not be the only one at the villa with an eerie doppelgänger. Famous for their gory horror tales, British studio Hammer Films shows a subtler side with this romantic, atmospheric thriller, available here in its Unedited International Version.This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.
