Surprisingly good psychological horror drama from Jesús "Jess" Franco with the Spanish
actress Emma Cohen (Emmanuela Beltran Rahola 1946-2016) in the lead role. I love her
expressive eyes. I have mostly, or only, seen her in Spanish genre films from the 1970's.

This film is somewhat soaked in Jazz, the favourite music of Jess and he can be seen
playing the piano in some scene when the musicians are jamming.

The Film starts with a zoom into a big villa situated on a hill on the Portuguese island of
Madeira (and surprisingly not a zoom into some woman's crotch).
A girl, Ana (Cohen) lives with her father (Howard Vernon) and aunt. Her father clings
on to her in fear of being left alone and every meeting with a guy has to be kept a secret.
Ana is to get married when her father ruins everything for her by committing suicide by
hanging and the wedding is off.

Ana leaves the island for the mainland (of Portugal) where she suddenly plays the Piano
in a Jazz band (watch out for Jess playing). She jams happily and has a relation with the
the trumpeter, Bill (Robert Woods) and also may be playing in her friend Miguels theatre
production of "Medea". Everything is copacetic ?
The answer is a big NO as she starts hearing her father calling her from the other side of
the mirror, and giving her murder fantasies. Keep all knives away from Ana.

The film presented in 1.66:1 ratio with Spanish audio DTS-HD 2.0 and english subtitles.
