Review of Bluebeard (1972) by Rob H — 24 Apr 2011
To quote Richard Burton's final line in this trashy wreck of a film, "It's absurd and ridiculous." And that pretty much sums up this film that can't decide if it's set in Germany after WWI with this Nazi-like military (they aren't really swastikas but awfully damn close) or set in the 60s as the polyester contemporary fashions seem to indicate.
Lots of women get killed (and quite a few real animals in a hunting sequence) and most of them show off their breasts as a distraction. Burton's accent goes from Welsh to German to some odd mix and Joey Heatherton proves once and for all that she couldn't deliver a line of sincere dialog to save her soul (or in this case her life.
).
