Short Night of Glass Dolls

Short Night of Glass Dolls (1971) is Aldo Lado's Prague-set giallo, and you can watch online on iFILM. American reporter Gregory Moore is found in a city square and wheeled into the morgue — paralyzed, but fully awake inside a body everyone has written off as a corpse.

Stretched out on the slab, he replays the days that put him there. It started when his Czech fiancée Mira vanished without a trace. The harder he pushed, the more doors closed — names too powerful to question, a silence with money behind it. Ingrid Thulin and Jean Sorel play the friends who turn out to be anything but.

Lado wraps a political parable inside a horror shell: behind the velvet rooms sits something that thrives in the dark. Ennio Morricone's uneasy score keeps the whole thing suspended between dream and dread. For fans of cold, strange 1970s Euro-thrillers, this one rewards patience.
