Celluloid Dreams brings "Short Night of Glass Dolls" to Blu-ray and 4K UltraHD

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. - Dec. 2, 2024 - PRLog -- Celluloid Dreams (www.celluloid-dreams.net) today announces the release date for Aldo Lado's 1971 debut film, the exceptional Italian giallo "Short Night of Glass Dolls" as a 4-disc Collector's Edition containing a Blu-ray and 4K UltraHD version on April 29th, 2025.

From the fringes of the giallo genre, writer and director Aldo Lado (WHO SAW HER DIE?, NIGHT TRAIN MURDERS) delivers a debut movie that pushes the boundaries of convention with "an ending that is one of the best, truly shocking giallo finales ever put on film." (Geoffrey Thomas, Collider)

American foreign correspondent Gregory Moore is on his final assignment in Prague before transitioning to London. He plans to bring his beautiful Czech girlfriend Myra with him, freeing her from the shackles of oppressive Iron Curtain politics. But their plans are suddenly derailed when Myra vanishes without a trace.

His investigation into her disappearance makes him realize that decadence, superstition, and hunger for power run deep in the City of a Hundred Spires.

And then his own body turns up in a park…

With no sign of life or rigor mortis, doctors prepare to perform an autopsy to discover the cause of his mysterious and symptomless death. What they don't know is that in his mind, Greg is frantic. Silently screaming. "I am alive!"

Newly restored and presented in 4K ultra-high definition for the first time, "Short Night of Glass Dolls" is "easily one of the most intelligent and stylish gialli" (The Celluloid Highway). The film will surprise you with its remarkable narrative, distinctive photography, and stellar cast that includes Jean Sorel (A LIZARD IN A WOMAN'S SKIN, THE SWEET BODY OF DEBORAH), Barbara Bach (THE BLACK BELLY OF THE TARANTULA, THE SPY WHO LOVED ME), Ingrid Thulin (THE SILENCE, WILD STRAWBERRIES) and Mario Adorf (THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE, WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOUR DAUGHTERS?).

Celluloid Dreams is proud to present this newly scanned version, restored in 4K from the original camera negative, along with countless extras such as Commentary Tracks, hours worth of Interview and Retrospective Featurettes, a 35mm Grindhouse presentation, and much, much more.
