The Short Night of Glass Dolls 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray collector’s edition brings Aldo Lado’s haunting giallo debut to its most definitive release yet. Set in an eerily oppressive Prague, the story follows American journalist Gregory Moore, whose girlfriend Myra mysteriously disappears—only for Greg’s own body to later be found lifeless in a park. With no pulse, no rigor mortis and doctors preparing for autopsy, Greg silently screams inside his immobilized body as he pieces together the sinister conspiracy surrounding Myra’s vanishing. Blending political paranoia, occult undertones and one of the genre’s most shocking finales, this atmospheric giallo stars Jean Sorel, Barbara Bach, Ingrid Thulin and Mario Adorf, restored in 4K from the original camera negative and accompanied by multiple cuts and extensive archival supplements.
