回复 :New York private detective Duncan "Mac" MacLain is blind but has keenly developed all his other senses. He pursues his work assisted by his faithful guide dog Friday, his butler, Alistair, and his assistant, Marty. Retired actress Norma Lawry, an old friend, comes to Mac seeking advice. Her headstrong 17-year-old step-daughter Barbara, herself a promising actress, is enamored with her leading man in a small theater production, the much older Lothario Paul Gerente. Paul, who had once been Norma's lover, has convinced Barbara that Norma actually wants Paul for herself and has only married her father Stephen for his money. At Mac's urging, Norma tried to reason with Paul, but he insists that he loves Barbara and laughs her off. Barbara is equally disdainful of her and agrees to meet Paul for dinner that night at his apartment.Norma's husband Stephen Lawry is a scientist leaving that night on a trip to test a secret invention on which he has been working for the government and the war effort. Worried about Barbara, she uses a pretext not to accompany Stephen and goes to the apartment. When Barbara arrives, she finds Paul's dead body and thinks that Norma has killed him, even though Norma insists that he was dead when she arrived. Barbara threatens to call the police unless she leaves Stephen. Fearing that a scandal will hurt him, Norma agrees. Norma then turns to Mac, who goes to Paul's apartment with Friday and Marty, only to find the body and the rug under it missing. A man arrives to replace the rug and Mac hides in a closet, overhearing a telephone call to Norma's number from "Gabriel" to "Vera." Mac accidentally gives himself away, but with Friday's help overpowers Gabriel, who refuses to talk. Mac has Marty hide him to keep him under wraps.Norma returns to her country home unexpectedly, which discourages an espionage ring that includes her butler, Hansen, from breaking into Stephen's safe and stealing his plans. They have killed Gerente, who was also an agent, and hidden the body. Mac arrives with Friday at Norma's house and pretends to be her curmudgeonly "Uncle Mac" who has come for a visit. His blindness lulls any suspicions Hansen might have about him. Shortly thereafter, Barbara comes home from an "emergency rehearsal", called to get her out of the house by her director, Cheli Scott, who inveigles an invitation to spend the night at the Lawry home. Unknown to Barbara and Norma, Cheli is the ringleader of the spies. Cheli ordered Paul killed because his affection for Barbara was beginning to limit his effectiveness, and she immediately suspects Mac is not what he seems.Gabriel's wife Vera, the Lawrys' maid, is also a part of the plot. When Gabriel does not return home, Vera becomes hysterical with worry. Mac secretly asks Vera to meet him in the greenhouse, using her worry about Gabriel as a lure. She is observed by the others, however, and is killed by Hansen before she can reach Mac. The spies cut the house's telephone wires so that Mac and Norma cannot call the police, and Cheli has Mac locked up under guard. Using his blindness as a distraction, Mac overpowers his guard and releases Friday out a window with instructions to "go home and get Marty." Stephen arrives home and Cheli threatens his family if he does not give her the final step in creating his invention, which was not in the safe. Barbara finally realizes how much Norma actually cares for her. Mac tries to stall for time, but is locked in the cellar. When Hansen goes to kill him, Mac has broken the light bulb and his advantage of total darkness helps him overcome the spy. Marty and Friday return with the police. When Friday is spotted by a lookout, Mac overpowers him and is saved from being shot by another lookout by Friday. After the spies are captured, Stephen and Norma are off to Washington, D.C., with Barbara remaining behind to care for her new "Uncle Mac."

回复 :这是一部以营造气氛见长的经典恐怖片,讲述1630年一个女巫和她情人被她自己的兄弟杀死。两百年后,两人复活,向她兄弟的后代(其中有一个酷似女巫)复仇。跟多数意大利恐怖片一样,本片的故事并不特别,但哥特式的场景阴森难忘。故事灵感来自果戈里小说。女主角一人分饰两角,暗示善恶之间只有一线之隔,演绎起来的样子就像是神情恍惚的肯尼迪夫人。* * * * *众多恐怖电影迷们都以为他们的钟爱己在Universal、Hammer、Roger Corman和其他一些著名的恐怖电影制片室和生产商摄制的各类影片中得到了实现。其实只有当你到阳光灿烂的意大利对满布阴霾的意国电影走走看看时,你才算真正经历了经典的恐怖电影。Black Sunday (1960) 又名 The Mask of Satan:意大利电影制作者再次着手恐怖电影的拍摄已经是四年以后了,在Renato Polselli同样受欢迎的《The Vampire and the Ballerina》(1960)之后,摄影师Mario Bava首次作为导演浮出水面,创作了一部代表性的恐怖电影,这宣告恐怖电影作为一种电影类型从此诞生。The Mask of Satan是真正意义上的恐怖电影代表作,故事大致源于果戈里的《the Viy》,它讲述一个处死二百年后的巫婆复活人世开始报复当初处死她的人们的后代,然而这个故事相对于Bava那几乎要跳出屏幕般的特殊视觉效果而言稍显次要,他的构图如此复杂,以至于影片的每一帧都可以被放大并挂在墙上,光与影的强烈对比营造出有什于Universal公司早期作品的恐怖效果,Bava创造出一出惊心动魄的神怪故事,充斥了巫婆、幽灵、秘密通道、凄叫的野狗、恶毒的公车司机甚至包括对着路人张牙舞爪的树枝。每一位看完此片的恐怖电影迷都着实大开眼界。这部影片在意大利取得成功并预示着Bava执导生涯的开始,它在美国经过删改后冠以《黑色星期天》(Black Sunday),同样大受欢迎。虽说它经过了修改,但基本上还是保证了原作的汁味,并一着被能在首映时有幸一睹的美国电影迷们津津乐道难以忘怀。影片取得成功的一大功劳归于片中的影星Barbara Steele,这部作品标志着Barbara Steele演艺生涯的发韧,之后她又在九部义大利恐怖电影中担纲主演,每一部都因她的表现而亮色。她那阴暗的造型、冷淡的情欲使她自然而然地适演恐怖片,由她演出的多数电影取得成功都与她的表现密不可分,她的另外几部意大利恐怖电影为:《The Horrible Dr. Hichcock》( 1962)、《The Ghost》(1963)、《Long Hair of Death》(1964)、《 Castle of Blood》(1964)、《Nightmare Castle》(1965)和《She-Beast》 (1965)、 《Terror Creatures from the Grave》(1966)、《An Angel for Satan》(1966)。
