Leave your thoughts about The Mephisto Waltz.
| Los Angeles TimesTerry AtkinsonThere are some genuinely chilling scenes, but it is still a made-for-TV-ish ROSEMARY'S BABY rip-off. |
| Cleveland PressTony MastroianniThe cast performs well, with an energy that belies the obvious hokum. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe Mephisto Waltz, which is inferior to "Rosemary's Baby" on all sorts of fundamental levels like direction, photography and acting, is fatally inferior in its understanding of the supernatural. If a horror movie is to be taken seriously, it has to pretend to take horror seriously. And this one doesn't. |
| Village VoiceMolly HaskellThis shrill, heavy-handed exercise only makes us appreciate "Rosemary's Baby" all over again. |
| About.comStaci Layne WilsonAlan Alda tinkles the devil's ivories in this super 70s Satan suspenser. |
| User Review?Chris?Without a doubt, the best made-for-tv movie! It could get a PG rating today, but Mephisto Waltz has the aesthetic appeal of a great thriller |
| User Review?HorrorFan? .it was a gd horror movie i guess i saw this movie last night and there were some parts i did not like but still a gd horor movie if u like old horror movie then u have to see it and its about A music journalist (Alan Alda) scores the interview of a lifetime when a terminally ill piano virtuoso (Curd Jürgens) agrees to talk to him. But the opportunity doesn't come cheap -- the price is giving up his soul. Although the writer's wife (Jacqueline Bisset) suspects something's wrong, she has no idea her husband's been possessed. Barbara Parkins also stars in this classic 1970s thriller. |
| User ReviewAndrew SIn 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! |
| User ReviewStephen KThis was released on DVD as part of Fox/MGM's 'Midnite Movies' series. This film followed ROSEMARY'S BABY and preceded THE EXCORCIST. Though a pre-MASH Alan Alda is top-billed, this Jacqueline Bisset's movie and its one of her best performances. Kurt Jurgens is the sinister classical piano player who lures Alda into his circle much to the alarm of his wife, Bisset. Kurt's relationship with his daughter (Barbara Perkins) is incestuous and his circle of close friends are creepy and Bisset slowly suspects they are Satan-worshipers. Unlike many 1970s horror films, this relies more on mood than on gore, not a bad little film. Oh, it was produced by TV producer Quinn Martin (THE FUGITVE, CANNON, THE STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO, etc.). |
| User ReviewGretchen BSimultaneously classy, creepy and kitschy, *The Mephisto Waltz* is consistently entertaining, heavy on mood over content. Also a fine time capsule of early 70s L.A. high life. Loved the music and imagery, especially the swinging Christmas party with all the masks... the dog wearing a human mask was definitely memorable and creepy. I love late 60s/early 70s culture, so my tolerance for the psychedelic dream sequences did not negatively influence my view on the movie... I imagine for others it might. Does the Devil live in Los Angeles? Do devil-worshippers make better lovers? *The Mephisto Waltz* helps answer this and other questions one might not think about :) Alan Alda was great; God Bless the Sensitive 70s Man. Down with Dick Cheney. Jacqueline Bisset is beautiful, as are many of "the devil's paramores" throughout. Stay away from ornate ancient bottles filled with lavendar-colored kitchen detergent. |
