Short Night of Glass Dolls is an uneven yet still interesting Italian film that has had the term giallo attached to it but doesn’t share that much in common. There are some dull moments in an otherwise passable film.

PLOT SYNOPSIS |
|
American journalist Gregory Moore (JEAN SOREL) is trapped inside his apparently dead body, but still trying to decipher the disappearance of his beautiful girlfriend, Mira (BARBARA BACH). |
SPECIAL FEATURES – 0.5/5 |
| Along with the usual 8-page booklet, this comes with Italian and English language Trailers. |
VIDEO – 4.5/5, AUDIO – 4.0/5 |
| The movie is presented with a 2.35 widescreen aspect ratio and given a great looking 1080p high-definition transfer. The picture does look quite good showcasing nicely defined detail with a fine mixture of colors, in keeping with, presumably, how it was released in 1971. There were some minor specs but nothing distracting. The included DTS-HD Master Audio Mono track is available in both the original Italian and dubbed English languages, which both sound perfectly fine. |
OVERALL – 2.75/5 |
|
Overall, Short Night of Glass Dolls is an uneven yet still interesting Italian film that has had the term giallo attached to it, even on the back cover of this Twilight Time release, but doesn’t share that much in common. There are some dull moments in an otherwise passable film that seems ripe to be remade at some point. This Blu-ray release offers good video/audio transfers but lacked significant bonus features. |
