Jürgen Drews, a notable figure in the realm of cult cinema, made his mark with roles in Sex Freedom in Germany (1970) and Execution Squad (1972). Born in the early 1940s in Germany, Drews embodies the spirit of the 1970s exploitation genre, often portraying characters that navigate the fringes of societal norms. His performance in Short Night of Glass Dolls (1971) further solidifies his presence in the giallo and thriller landscapes, where his contributions resonate with fans of daring and provocative storytelling.
Short Night of Glass Dolls
The corpse of reporter Gregory Moore (Jean Sorel of LIZARD IN A WOMAN’S SKIN) is found in a Prague plaza and brought to the local morgue. But Moore is actually alive, trapped inside his dead body and desperately recalling how the mysterious disappearance of his beautiful girlfriend (Barbara Bach of THE SPY WHO LOVED ME) led to a terrifying conspiracy of depravity. Can a reporter with no visible signs of life solve this perverse puzzle before he meets his ultimate deadline? Ingrid Thulin (THE DAMNED, SALON KITTY) co-stars in this unusual and startling giallo (also known as PARALYZED and MALASTRANA) that marked the debut of writer/director Aldo Lado (WHO SAW HER DIE?) and features a superb score by the legendary Ennio Morricone.
