Review of The Mephisto Waltz (1971) by Andrew S — 07 May 2009
In this Rosemary's Baby knock off, Alan Alda plays a pianist who dances with the devil, while Jacqueline Bisset smolders up the screen as his terrified wife. Satanist movies were a dime a dozen in the seventies, but this one's a notch or two above average, elevated by a good cast, imaginative cinematography, a creepy score by Jerry Goldsmith (and, of course, Franz Liszt), and a memorably twisted ending.
It was the only film that 20th Century-Fox produced during the entire calendar year of 1970!
