Movie Review - The Bird With The Crystal Plumage
L'Uccello dalle piume di cristallo (1970)
directed by Dario Argento
rating: 3 out of 5 cravats
on DVD from Netflix
Each time it looks like too much of a by-the-numbers serial killer shakedown, Argento fronts a little flash and style, including transvestite line-up comedy and the mounting tension of a murderer whittling his way through a fat oak door. But it's still a police procedural, and I don't get to ask which witch is which. Which, frankly, is a letdown.
